My entry for a slow car:  1984 Audi 5000 !!

I looked at the Audi when I was shopping for a car, and was *very*
impressed with what I saw - nice car!!!  The salesman asked if I
would like to drive it, so off we went.  The car was *painfully*
underpowered - seemed incapable of reasonable acceleration rates.
When a Cadillac Seville (with a *tiny* 3.9L V-8 and almost twice
the weight) can beat an Audi 5000, you know you've got a problem. 
The Caddy is a slug! Needless to say, I was quite disappointed, as
I would have bought the car otherwise!
