NUMBER ONE in list of worst car values.

The worst vehicles sold , are to me , the ones that manufacturers don't sell enough quantities of , to be worthy of production . Does that make them defective/substandard designs , sometimes yes , but just as often because the manufacturer has changed plans/directions and doesn't want to refine , update and market the product properly...just let it die . One example , to me , is about the best car GM has ever sold to date , the 2014 Chevy SS . It is beloved by owners , see the several forums devoted to the vehicle . It is also the only GM vehicle that I can recall that has received so many 5 Star ratings from testers and magazines . The main SS forum site has a woman staff assistant who monitors the site and its readers inquiries . The one persistent question often asked of her is " WHEN WILL THEY SHIP MY CAR AND WHEN WILL IT ARRIVE IN AMERICA ? Frankly speaking , I think they ship them only when there is enough ordered to justify the assembly line run and SHIP the product economically . This great product is half a world away , who else in the world does this , what other company would want to sell police vehicles from a plant half a world away and then want customers to wait while enough orders are generated to economically ship said vehicles , thousands of miles to its destination ?
Will this vehicle die , most likely yes , probably a new sleek design 2016 Malibu on a longer wheelbase will replace this NASCAR CHEVY SS design . So is the 2014 and 2015 Chevy , now with manual shift , one of the worst cars produced ? It could well be argued as GM has only sold a couple of thousand , so far , and for the bean counters , a resounding yes and long overdue ! For owners of the cars , some will rejoice as the cars become a collector gem , but for others , if the new NASCAR entry is a big hit , those owners may see a rapid decline of resale value and become quite upset and hold GM accountable . So perhaps the answer to the Worst Vehicle is that it can't be defined simply , for IT IS APPARENT THAT emotions and desires sometimes confuse and side rail logical decisions based on market segments , demographics and marketplace competition . The aftermath of this confusion , though ,can see that some potentially great vehicles never get to be explore their potential ,,,,,, c'est la vie !
