2016 Rusty Awards

​AND THE 2016 RUSTY AWARD GOES TO........

   Seems like this was definitely the year of the copycats and nose jobs.  Yes it seems that the Chinese still haven't got the notice that copying other people just isn't cool.  Maybe this years top ten list will help some of them rethink their designs.  The worst think we noticed this year were the over abuse of not caring about a front grille.  

If anyone has ever thought that you don't need a front grille, then check out our worst list.   Most cars over the years are made up of missing grilles.  Next to this some people think a long nose is a good thing.  Guess Peugeot will have to back to the drawing board on the that one.
​

Rated: 2016 Suzuki Alto

    But just like most years Honda, Toyota and Suzuki have a car on the bottom list.  Seems like they can work from both ends.  Too bad they just can't keep everything in the middle.  The one good news this year is that Honda does have our A+ award with the NSX.  Guess its a good thing the N-Box and StepWGN are only on the list and not at the top of it.
​

Rated: 2016 Hyundai i30

​    The funniest thing this year were the two double hits on our list.  YoGoMo and BAIC both made it onto both of our worst lists.  Being on top on both the CopyCat and Worst Design, YoGoMo has broken no barriers on their Kia Picanto copy car.  Guess they really need to go back to their designers and give them a good smack upside the head.  Next it seems that BAIC has chosen to borrow the complete design of Mercedes G-Class for their entry into the luxury market.  Guess Mercedes won't fight back as BAIC does build their cars in China.

Rated: 2016 Mazda 2

​​   If your didn't notice already Suzuki and Toyota have held their same spots as last year.  Of course this year they have different cars in those spots, but they still have the #5 and #7 spots they had last year.  Guess they thought those places were good enough for a second round.
​
    With so many Rusty cars this year it was a bit harder to narrow it down, but when it comes down to the marks, the writing is already on the wall.  Lets hope next year there will be list Rusty's and more A+ cars.
