There are some funny rides in there. The Chevette shouldn't be in there! It was actaully (as the article implies) a really reliable cheap to run vehicle. It was kinda fugly though..... Is the Vega in there?? Couldn't find it. It should be! To this day, I can't believe Chev made, or sourced, that failure of an engine with its' piston/rings scraping away on aluminum cylinder walls. How could they do that? Surely they must have known. Neil. On 9/9/07, Jim Felder <jim.felder@gmail.com> wrote: > CNN's site has a Time magazine report on the 50 worst cars of all > time.
