As 2008 winds down we like to look back and reflect on the year gone by.
Be it a good or bad year, our human nature is such that reflecting and remembering the things that went on throughout the year typically leading to the New Year's Resolution(s).
Looking back over 2008 I thought it would be fun to identify the worst car or truck of this past year.
In doing this, I would argue that potential candidates for this honor not necessarily be a bad car per se, but rather perhaps a badly timed vehicle given the change in vehicle needs that transpired this year with the fuel crisis and economic meltdown.
A good example would be the new Ford F150. Ford knew the timing was wrong for the introduction of the new truck choosing to delay production and the start of sales to in an attempt to allow current model inventories to be absorbed along with a sales campaign focused more on economy.
The Hummer H3T is another great example of having the wrong product at the wrong time, but then again ALL Hummer products were the wrong product this past summer.
The Acura TL is a car that has the potential to make the worst car list, although a 2009 model its introduction in 2008 makes it eligible for consideration.
There are quite a few cars that fit the bill, so why not have some year end fun and enlighten the rest of us with what you think is the worst car or truck for 2008.
