I don't mean literally speaking.
The Neon was an attempt by Chrysler to get into the compact car market and compete with actual decent vehicles like the Civic. They did it with cut-rate parts and poor engineering.
Chrysler (via Jeep) was attempting to get into the small crossover segment with the Compass and took the same route - cut-rate parts and a shitty design to yield an absolutely awful vehicle.
The new compass might not be a piece of shit; early returns are promising. But that first gen was just hot garbage. The back end would actually come off the ground under heavy braking, it was just that bad.
