In honor of the imminent celebrations, Consumer Reports has picked its “Automotive Turkeys” of 2008, and they got some good ones. Tax credits for Hybrid Tahoes, Chrysler’s four-week Aspen/Durango Hybrid reign of terror, Acura’s styling, the Smart’s pricing and much more get the thumbs down from CR’s Mike Quincy. In advance of TTAC’s Ten Worst awards, I’m asking: what makes your list of automotive blunders for 2008? Personally, the Volt transformation, the bailout beggary and Chrysler’s Project D(isaster) would be near the top of my list. Yours?

@h82w8, Then the Panamera certainly fits the bill: it's the right shape.
Porsche Panafugly, BMW, Toyota. Ah, heck. ALL Euro and asian automakers!
It's not as spectacular as the aforementioned blunders, but I'm pretty bummed that the Corolla XRS has been neutered with the pedestrian 2.4L, auto option, and more weight. Shame on Toyota, the XRS with the Yamaha 1.8L and 6 speed was the best economy car they made - up until this year.
