What about the Mercury Grand Marquis, that thing was about as bland as my grandfathers d*ck!

I would say 1975....I have a 73 Charger and it's not mediocre at all...

The USDM only MK2.5 would be my definition of mediocre. I haven't driven one but they look terrible, especially considering the previous generation. Also no hatchback.

Don't forget the SVT!

It's possible.

No way. The Omni GLH and GLHS were great.

Here's my vote:

Third generation Ford Taurus. Took what was a good car and made it all around mediocre. Also, the changes to the SHO model and resulting terrible sales figures because of them were the nail in the coffin for the SHO.

I had a dodge caliber as a rental for 3 weeks. Horrible CVT, horrible gas mileage, ugly, poor assembly, uncomfortable steering wheel, cheap assembly. The car was brand new.

No, people don't understand the term Mediocre. Mediocre doesn't mean bad, it just means...average, something that isn't special but isn't bad.

What you posted is a bad car, not a mediocre one.

What Wingsofwar posted is spot on.

- No luxurious features, but isn't shit for quality
- No performance bragging rights, but isn't slow
- No economical benefits, but doesn't guzzle gas
- Aesthetically dull design (interior & exterior) but isn't ugly
- the lifespan/durability/reliability has a set date of 150k-200k miles before consider replacing the entire car.

Chevrolet Impala (late model)

i'm going with Lexus SC430 (the convertible one).

for what it was trying to be, a japanese SL500, it was truly mediocre in comparison.

Ford Escort. The '99 I had, while slightly above average reliability, excelled in nothing else. A mediocre car, but not great.
