Lemme see if I got this right, they named the corvair, pinto, gremlin and pacer, but left out the chebby vega?
You gotta be kidding.
Obviously these people don't know squat about cars. They made their list based on appearance and publicity and not mechanical reliability or utility.
The gremlin and pacer were ugly, but were reliable and utilitarian. They worked well. The pinto was a fine economy car and they sold a zillion of them, but they got a bad rep because 1 out of every gazillion of them caught on fire in a rear end collision.
The early corvair was a fine car as long as you kept the air pressures set close to recommended. The later corvairs were very good cars but that Ralph Naderjackass screwed it all up in an attempt to get rich and famous.

As a comparison, the average vega engine had a lifespan measured in months .All you had to do was overheat it once (which wasn't hard to do) and the sleeves would come loose in the block. Then they would leak oil and water and smoke and everyhing else you could imagine. Most unreliable POS I've ever seen that didn't come from Great britain. But it didn't make the list because it wasn't ugly enough.

They should stick to writing stories about Paris hilton and that dead blond bimbo playboy bunny and leave cars to those who know something about them.
