			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/jeepcompass01.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8354" src="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/jeepcompass01.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s only fair for us to include <a title="Jalop's" href="http://jalopnik.com">Jalop&#8217;s</a> the Worst10, since that is the more interesting list.  Some cars we take issue with being included, others we wonder why not, but the list is generally pretty sensible.  Take a glimpse for yourself.</p>
<p><span id="more-8352"></span><a href="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/jeep_compass_3077_16.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8353" src="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/jeep_compass_3077_16.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Jeep Compass (2007 to Now)<br />
<strong> Price</strong>: $19,000+<br />
<strong> Why</strong>: It bastardized the once-proud Jeep name.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/sebring08_031600.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8355" src="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/sebring08_031600.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="318" /></a></p>
<p><strong>2</strong>. Chrysler Sebring (2007 to Now)<br />
<strong> Price</strong>: $21,000+<br />
<strong> Why</strong>: Noisy ride, cheap interior, and lifeless steering.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ford_focus_coupe_2008_2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8356" src="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ford_focus_coupe_2008_2.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p><strong>3</strong>. Ford Focus (2005 to Now)<br />
<strong> Price</strong>: $16,000+<br />
<strong> Why</strong>: Bizarre styling and stale material.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/08chae00005-718345.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8357" src="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/08chae00005-718345.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="346" /></a></p>
<p><strong>4</strong>. Chevrolet Aveo (2002 to Now)<br />
<strong> Price</strong>: $13,000+<br />
<strong> Why</strong>: A Third-World car for a First-World market.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/4700201-lg.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8358" src="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/4700201-lg.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p><strong>5</strong>. Smart ForTwo (2008 to Now)<br />
<strong> Price</strong>: $12,000+<br />
<strong> Why</strong>: Overpriced and thirsty for its size.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/3588951-lg.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8362" src="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/3588951-lg.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="340" /></a></p>
<p>6. Kia Amanti (2003 to 2009)<br />
<strong> Price</strong>: $26,000+<br />
<strong> Why</strong>: Knockoff Euro styling with 1980s equipment.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/090529-08-2000_pontiac_bonneville.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8359" src="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/090529-08-2000_pontiac_bonneville.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="302" /></a></p>
<p><strong>7</strong>. Pontiac Bonneville (2000 to 2005)<br />
<strong> Price</strong>: $28,000+<br />
<strong> Why</strong>: Drab styling and decade-old platform.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/2010_dodge_caliber_press_004.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8360" src="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/2010_dodge_caliber_press_004.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="357" /></a></p>
<p><strong>8<span style="normal;">. Dodge Caliber (2006 to Now)<br />
<strong> Price</strong></span></strong>: $17,000+<br />
<strong> Why</strong>: Must you ask?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/pt-cruiser.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8361" src="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/pt-cruiser.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p><strong>9</strong>. Chrysler PT Cruiser (2000 to Now)<br />
<strong> Price</strong>: $19,000+<br />
<strong> Why</strong>: A good car Chrysler left to rot.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/2008_hummer_h2_783053_269_20090629153202_130.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8363" src="http://www.carversation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/2008_hummer_h2_783053_269_20090629153202_130.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p><strong>10</strong>. Hummer H2 (2003 to Now)<br />
<strong> Price</strong>: $63,000+<br />
<strong> Why</strong>: Slow, thirsty, cramped, and modeled like an old Tahoe.</p>
