Would have been a much better read if they would have left the politics out, but Time just could not help themselves.
There were several other digs I noticed too.

I agree it'd be nice if they could have left the politics out, but I think they're actually right on this one. Few inventions have singly led to more destruction than the automobile. I love cars, don't get me wrong, but to simply turn a blind eye to the terrible effect they've had on our planet (especially with the multiplier of rampant overpopulation) would be kind of ignorant.
The comments about the stupidity of the Explorer Excursion and (especially) the H2 I completely agree with. Big, bland, dumb.
It's pretty obvious these guys are not terribly fond of GM also. . .
