Re: Worst Cars of All Time This guy obviously has little or no car experience.of I would bet that he has never rode in, driven or even seen most of these cars.

Re: Worst Cars of All Time The author is one of those Green New Deal believers. Look what his take on the Model T is: " [it] 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." Nothing about its significance as an automobile, just how it put us on the path to environmental ruin. This moron has as much right to write about automobiles as I have to write about colonoscopies. He hates cars, I hate colonoscopies, he knows nothing about cars, I know nothing about colonoscopies, he thinks cars are a necessary evil and I think colonoscopies are a necessary evil.

Their skinny on the 09 T was that the engine was totally unreliable Most were replaced in the first 5 years making the 09 engine a real rarity to find today By 14 Ford had a much better engine....I hear |

Re: Worst Cars of All Time Did people in 1958 really think the Edsel's grille resembled lady parts? Never in a million years would I have thought of that...

Re: Worst Cars of All Time Dan Neil jumped from the LA Times, where he won a Pulitzer, to the WSJ. Like most automotive writers when they write something for the non automotive media, he took money from TIME with his tongue deeply embedded in his cheek. His weekly reviews in the WSJ are must reading every Saturday as are the interviews with owners of unusual cars on Wednesday.

I remember when the Edsel came out, and people referred to it as a horse collar. |
