Cars.com 10 worst cars of the decade
6. Pontiac Sunfire
1995-2005
The Sunfire managed the rare feat of having a worse interior than its GM twin, the Chevy Cavalier.

Oh yes...
In addition to hanging out with shimmerngspirit , going swimming, and enjoying some coffee and yoga, I also whipped the rest of these up and served them as the dessert portion of our dinner yesterday evening.
