Would You Drive These Disasters? The 45 Worst Cars of All Time
Cadillac Fleetwood Was Too Smart to Work
Cadillac had a vision in 1981: create a luxury car that could magically save gas by switching between eight, six, or four cylinders. Sounds cool, right? Well, not when the system had the decision-making skills of a confused squirrel. The V8-6-4 engine in the Cadillac “Fleetwood” constantly hesitated, stalled, and left drivers guessing how much power they had at any moment.
Instead of smooth, effortless cruising, owners got a car that felt like it was constantly second-guessing itself. The system was so unreliable that most people just paid mechanics to disable it. Cadillac may have been ahead of its time, but this experiment was a mechanical faceplant.
