Winner of the Why Would You? Award… The badge sums it up. Wedged helplessly between the two halves of the grille, looking like a hasty, apologetic afterthought (“What’s that, Dave? We forgot the badge? Just stick it, er, there…”).

WTF Car? Awards: Ssangyong Rodius
at 11:41 am on Friday January 23, 2009
Winner of the Minger of the Year Award… The Rodius was hideous, crap to drive and terrifyingly flimsy when it was launched five years ago. But 2008, we were told, was the start of a bright new dawn for Ssangyong, with a complete relaunch of its model range.
WTF Car? Awards: Jeep Compass
at 11:41 am on Friday January 23, 2009

WTF Car? Awards: Maybach Landaulet
at 11:40 am on Friday January 23, 2009
Winner of the Money Can’t Buy You Taste Award… Like all the air in a vacuum, the vulgarity available to car manufacturers had seemingly been consumed by the Maybach.
WTF Car? Awards: Fiat Qubo
at 11:40 am on Friday January 23, 2009
Winner of the Victorian Hat Fetish Award… Fiat re-invents the box by making it massively less useful to actual human beings who aren’t looking for a conversion that includes a hydraulic ramp.
WTF Car? Awards: MG TF LE 500
at 11:40 am on Friday January 23, 2009
Winner of the Unwelcome Return Award… The Nanjing MG TF LE 500 has been totally ‘re-engineered’ to bring it back up to date with the most modern of sportscars. No, really.
WTF Car? Awards: Citroen C3 Pluriel Charleston
at 11:40 am on Friday January 23, 2009
Winner of the Shameless Historical Pillaging Award… There’s little to get a car enthusiast more indignant than when a manufacturer starts ram-raiding its own back catalogue for a cynical dose of nostalgia. The Citroen C3 Pluriel is a dog of thing.
WTF Car? Awards: Chrysler Sebring
at 11:40 am on Friday January 23, 2009
Winner of the Hire Car Nightmare Award… So bad, even the man at Hertz will wince apologetically as he hands you the keys. This car has no reason – no right – to exist.
