Notice - Inclusion Criteria Because there are a wealth of bad automobiles out there in the world, a set of criteria have been created to make sure we're focusing truly on cars that are truly notable for their negative reception:
- Title must have own article. (Must be notable to be notable for negative reception.)
- Should have at least 3 reliable source review/top worst/retrospective sources covering the automobile very negatively in significant detail. At least one source should literally call it one of the worst automobiles ever.
- Publication dates of the assessments should span at least 5 years in order to show that the assessment of "worst" is a long term phenomena and not just a passing trend. Exception may be made for automobiles on the market for less time than this.
- The automobile has to have been a major, mass-market vehicle that was reviewed (and panned) by major publications. It should not be an obscure automobile or limited market third world automobile that no one ever had any expectations for, and largely flew under the radar.
- Having a particular issue/controversy should help an automobile stay on the list. (See the the story the Chevrolet Corvair as a strong example of this.)
- Start discussion on talk page for any questions or proposed exceptions.
