Week after week, I post blogs featuring cars you (and I) could probably never afford to own, but we love to lust after. This week, I have a different kind of blog... cars we could possibly afford to own, but shouldn't. Why? Well, these are the cars that made Forbes' list of the worst-made cars on the road. Whether it's due to their poor safety performance, poor overall value, poor dependability, or all of the above, these are cars you should steer clear of. You might be surprised to see which cars made the list.
