Upcoming Cars – Brett’s Top Five Worst

Lets start with the Smart For-Two

First of all, you can tell that this 47 inch television is having a hard time getting home from Walmart.  The engine of the For-Two is made out of a half gallon of milk.  But if the city is your place, this could be a good choice due to its German Reliability, as its Mercedes built.  Also I know some people say these cars are very unsafe.  Incorrect.  Do you see that grey stripe on the side?  Not a stripe!! Its part of the support and in fact is made out of the same material used in NASCAR roll bars.

At some point every car company has to make a mistake.  Also every person has made a mistake at some point in their life too.  The biggest mistake would be buying a car companies biggest mistake.  Having said that, I'd like to present the Acura ZDX.  Which if you attempt to pronounce the word ZDX, that's what the front of this car is trying to say.  All together now... Zuuuuuuuduhhhhhhherrrrrxxxxx.  Acura is of course the luxury line that Honda owns in Japan.  And Honda made this vehicle first and called it the, Accord Crosstour.  Blind spots are everywhere in this vehicle, however the technology packed into the computer systems of this car are second to none.

Don't get me wrong, I love Cadillacs.  The Escalade is the exception though.  The Escalade EXT is the biggest part of the exception.  It wears the Cadillac emblem, yes.  But the idea of a car that gets 12 miles to the gallon doesn't do it for me.  Maybe back when gas was $1.45 a gallon.  The bed of this truck is big enough for one golf club.  The other 13 will have to be in the back seat or stay at home.  If someone would ask me to name a Cadillac I despise, the EXT would be the one I would name.

The Honda Ridgeline.  Honda's very very first pickup truck and one of their very few mistakes.  I couldn't find a picture of the side of this truck but if you've seen it, try this out.  Cover your eye with one hand and just focus on the front door and engine bay.  Ahh, there it is.  Its based off of the ever so popular, 7 passenger, soccer mom minivan known as the Honda Odyssey.  The 4wheel drive is just as good as a 2 wheel drive but it has a pretty sweet little hidden compartment in the bed to stow your stuff.

I have no idea why the all new Lincoln MKS looks like a fish but when I look at it, all I see is a Marlin.  It must be that grille.  Look up the word "exertion" in the dictionary.  Chances are this "tried too hard" car will be in the definition.  Its too gaudy for me.  The interior is beautiful.  I wonder if there is a warning label in the owners manual that says -  "If you don't wear a tuxedo while driving, you'll look like an idiot".
