Car sighting

General
Ok I just saw what I consider the 2nd worst badge engineered car to date. (Badge engineering question read below (ok maybe a few options))
A Cadillac Cimarron. what a POS. It is a cavalier with about 2x the price and a Cadillac badge.
Now I can think of one other i consider worse and one the is about to be (if not already being made) that is worse. I will mention those later if i get any responses.
Badge engineering is where a company takes one car slaps another badge on it and makes it another car. This can go well or it can go bad... very bad
examples (not all bad)
Chevy Aveo = Pontiac G3
Opel Omega = Cadillac Catera
VW Jetta = Audi A3 (well the wagon)
All Mercury cars and suvs
and so on

The Car I consider the worst badge job has to be the Maserati TC. It was a shitty Chrysler. Soon Aston Martin will make something worse, a rebadged Toyota iQ.
Funny Maserati did the worst and the best the MC12 is very very nice
