Default infamous models - what made them?

another in a long line of historical trivea relating to cars. over the last 40 odd years, what models were known for 'unfortunate' stying errors or bad design or manufacturing. eg of the top of my head. (as its a ford forum and lots has been posted about EA and AU....lets give them a break)

Edsel (stying)
corvair (rear suspension)
HD holden - front and rear styling
HQ kingswood - handling
orig falcon - front suspension failure
Camira - smoky engines
sigma - smoky engines
magna - auto gearboxes
VX commodore with 5.7chev (oil consumption)
VL 3.0 (headgaskets)
rotary Mazdas (seals failing)

this is a specialty for mechanics ou there who made a fortune on some of these cars...
