The TIME website has an interesting list and account of the greatest lemons of the automotive industry. You can view their top 50 list at the link provided. I’ve attached the more ‘recent’ lemons from 1975 to the present. Is it a surprise or an expectation that there aren’t any Japanese cars that made the list, huh? One vehicle that stands out from the 1990-Present list is the Pontiac Aztec. That monstrosity of a vehicle really gives meaning to the acronym POS.
