Yugo your way And I'll go mini

I worked at one of the 2 delorean dealers in Ohio in the 80s, we sold 23 cars, I drove every one, with a manuel trans they were ok, they did handle well, it was not a bad car 2 things doomed it, they could not get the engine they wanted, was going to be a rotary made by GM, that was never made, the 2nd thing was they just ran out of money and could not get anyone to fund it (except drug traffickers), I will say in John Deloreans defense he never used drugs or sold them it was a last resort to get financing for the car company

The Pinto really shouldn't be in the list of 80s car. It's a real stretch even with your facts. It was replaced in the 80s by the poorly built Escort.

Why is the Pinto being called a 1980s car?

in fairness to the yugo every one knew it was cheap crap. it was cheaper then a used car. being disposable WAS its selling point

If you look at running costs modern cars are way worse. Back in the day you could just switch a 1.99 lightbulb or a 5,99 mirror glass. You break one of these things on a modern car and it will cost you hundreds. Modern cars are WAY crapier than almost any car from the 80's. And than I am not even talking about electric cars which, once the market has settled and people have figured it out, will be worthless after just 6-7 years. You thought cars like the Peugeot 605 or Alfa 166 depreciated fast? Electric cars will depreciate even faster than that. Modern cars are only good if you have a large bank account.

I actually saw one of the Chrysler/Maserati cars about two weeks ago.

You left out the Adobe! "hey, hey! We're Adobe! The little car that's made out of clay!"

A guy around the corner from me in Dublin still drives his Yugo and swears by it

I had my tongue hanging out for a Chrysler LeBaron; I’m relieved I didn’t get one.

The PINTO was a 1970s car...

Very inconsistent pronunciation of vehicle names: Chrysler, Cimmaron, Renault. And, at 4:50, what does "meant that it cost around 80 Kos" mean? "Kos"????

The Pinto was a death trap at a time when any small car was pretty much a death trap. Statistically, the death rate was similar to something like a Chevette or Gremlin and better than the VW Beetle, Toyota, or Honda from the time.

you know the pintos safety issues could be fixed for about $20 at the time and a couple hours in the driveway.

every decade has its flops, its nowhere near specific to the 80s.70s had pinto and mustang 2, 90s had the first Hyundai which were junk etc.

I don't care if the DeLorean is heavy, cramped, slow, and unreliable, I still want one. You can always LS swap it!

Wow this AI channel goes hard.

I wonder why the Yugo didn't get an A 110 Abarth engine. I mean 72 HP for under 10 000$ ....New! Unbeatable.

God I loath Ai. Oh, and another huge part of the Chrysler TC blunder was that it was supposed to come out in 86… before the Lebaron . Instead it was delayed and the lebaron was launched first . So I don’t think I need to say anything more

Once again the Fiero is left out and forgotten. I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing?

4:23 the wood panel. I want this car so bad. How much?!

Notice the film speed used to make that Chev's acceleration look like that of a Tesla😂

Worst cars ever made are being made now.....

I rode in a friend's dad's Maserati TC when it came out. Very comfortable ride and nice interior, but it looked too much like a Lebaron.

Fuego was a nice looking car

Why don't they say anything about the Ford caliente

I'm surprised that dodge k cars are not on this list I had a 1988 dodge k car. Apparently it's the worst car ever made.
