47: Pontiac G5
We think it’s fairly obvious that Pontiac had given up most hope by the 2000s as a brand. Their cars were downright boring to look at and really nothing more than rebadged GM models. The G5 would have a name that implies some serious performance, but all it was, in reality, was a fancier Chevy Cobalt (via Car & Driver).
The G5 wouldn’t stay on the market for long as GM decided to ax the Pontiac lineup altogether. The car was probably one of the worst badge jobs in the automotive market. You could tell that this was a Cobalt from a mile away and that didn’t do anything for Pontiac’s failing reputation.
