    The Worst Bestseller

    Which bestseller(over 500,000 sold or something) do you think is the worst car ever to sell like hotcakes?

    1940's VW Beetle (It was sold cheap to Germans by the Nazis which meant there was no build quality )

    VW's were first sold in large quantities after the war and whatever you can say about the design, build quality was something that many companies in the UK could take as an example.

    VW Beetle which is renound for being unreliable with something like a Jaguar XK120 which could go non-stop around lemans for 24 hours. I dont want to argue here but why are you taking it out on my country (or group of countries)? You could just have easily said that the build quality was better than alot of other cars. Please dont stoop down as low as some of the people in the American hate thread

    Edit: Woot - Post 69 !

    I was a bit surprised that you linked Nazi's with build quality. May be I should have used the Allegro or the Marina as examples of cars that would also fall under the main heading of this thread.

    Im just going to shut up now before you offend me even more. I dunno what you have against my country but it offends me that you are pinpointing us making it seem that were a bunch of morons. You obviously havent heard of something called equality.

    It is always fun reading people saying that they are going to shut up and then continue talking. I have absolutely nothing against your country. You are really acting like the Americans that you referred to in an earlier reply. If you use the word Nazi in post you can expect to be in for some flak. Furthermore if you really think that the Allegro and the Marina are prime examples of British technology, than you are one of the few. I am the frist to admit that your island also produced some outstanding cars. This morning I was behind the wheel of UCP's Mini so I know what I am talking about.
