How did the Chevy Vega NOT make that list?

Well, that's just the problem, isn't it? The Model T — whose mass production technique was the work of engineer William C. Klann, who had visited a slaughterhouse's "disassembly line" — conferred to Americans the notion of automobility as something akin to natural law, a right endowed by our Creator. A century later, the consequences of putting every living soul on gas-powered wheels are piling up, from the air over our cities to the sand under our soldiers' boots

Oh brother.....give it a rest

What about comparing the H2 Hummer to Dick Cheney?

[Soliton]

It's not even factually accurate. It blames the Ford Explorer for starting the SUV craze, but the Explorer was preceded by the Bronco.

Besides, it was a fad with rich British people for decades. You drove a town car in town and your Range Rover at the estate.

AMC Gremlin. Truth in advertising.

Ford Explorer hated for its contribution to Global Warming!

[ricks_place]

2000 Ford Excursion hated for being big!

[ricks_place]

2003 Hummer H2 hated for being arrogantly huge, overtly militaristic, openly scornful of the common good! Does anyone actually buy this magazine?

This article is useless. It doesn’t have my first car, the Chrysler Aspen.

I remember being seven months pregnant pushing the car along on the street.

And I thought, until I read a comment on FR once, that I was the only person alive who wouldn’t make a left turn across traffic in it.

The pictures are interesting, but the writing is 100% pure sewage. This article is just another hit piece on American auto manufacturers. They must not need their advertising dollars.

I find it amazing that these media whores can take anything and make it political. They take vehicles such as the Explorer, Excursion, and Hummer - calling them bad vehicles - solely because they are the “hated” SUVs. Yet, they don’t mention the Expedition, the Tahoe, the Suburban, or any pick-up truck. These people are schizo!

Not so bad-just ugly.

2004 Volkswagon Beatle. My new wife, a recent convert to right-wing-ism, used to drive one. The engineers thought “outside the box” on everything... meaning you couldn’t find anything. And rather than making things more serviceable, the idea seemed to be to make things impossible to service... such as headlights’ bulbs which took a full fifteen minutes to access.

Yet, at the same time, you could easily access some of the wiring, which ran forward from the rear-engine through the ash tray, (which is in the back seat) so that everytime someone would try to open the ash tray, the headlights would go out...

So now the driver is careening through the dark. Fortunately, the emergency flashers are the one things easy to find on the VW.

Fun writing but the author should be named “Snide”ly!

The topic on the talk radio show was “The worst mistakes you’ve made in your life.”

The caller said, “I’ve made two. I sold the family farm and I bought my wife a Puegeot.”
