11: 1975-1980 Chevrolet Corvette
There’s no denying the 1970s were a tough time for the domestic automotive industry. This generation of the Corvette was especially painful because the car was dramatically scaled back. The new styling of the car was welcomed by the automotive community, but the 5.7-liter small-block V8 made 250 hp was paltry in comparison to what else was on the market. The new EPA regulations were also choking the Corvette out and consumers could tell.

The sweeping lines and the revised interior were not enough to make up for the paltry performance. We’re sure that GM regrets building this Corvette in a lot of aspects because it tarnished what was an unreal generation of cars. The next-generation Corvette managed to build on things a bit.
