These Are Your Least Favorite Cars on Sale Today

Current least favourite? The Toyota BzX4 B4Zx BxZ4… whatever Toyota’s EV is called.

And it’s entirely because of the name. It’s completely dumb. They maybe could have reused the name of the Solara, and it would fit the EV better. Instead, they threw darts at a keyboard and came up with a name every owner is going to need to repeat the name 7 times every time they’re asked what it is.

I get it Toyota. You’re hurt that hydrogen didn’t take off, and don’t want to build an EV because it would be an admission you may have misjudged the market. So you actively made it an unpleasant car. It’s got an indecipherable name, it’s ugly, it’s doesn’t have competitive range, or performance to speak of, and it arrives at a premium price. It’s basically the $15,000 Craigslist ad for non-running Pinto. “See??? It didn’t sell! Now can we please just get congress in our favour over hydrogen and stop all EV incentives?”

I’ve heard this car’s twin, the Subaru Solterra, describe as “one of the cars of all time.” This doesn’t bode well for the bZ4x, and that’s before you even take the dumb name into account.
