"It came with a hatchback that many people didn’t like. Consequently, it did win best-selling car a couple times before it disappeared from sight." No, dummy: When you use "Consequently" like that, it means that whatever you're about to say was a consequence, a direct result, of what you said before. But if "many people didn't like" the hatchback, then it wouldn't have won "best-selling car," would it? You meant "Oddly."
And the K-cars "were ugly to the look"? Did you mean "ugly to the max"? That at least would have been in keeping with the Eighties theme.
I suspect this writer's first language is not English.
This stuff gets to me, too!
