Thought you would enjoy a light read form Time magazine.
Interesting that there are a smattering of british and german cars,
but the majority are american and no japanese cars.
Of course an american writer will be biased towards commenting on
american products.

I just read the one about the Model T. I think that Michael Moore wrote it.

Some of their criteria are a little off the mark. Certainly there are
many that deserve this "honor", but there are also some that I, or any
car guy wouldn't mind having in the garage. The model T, the Amphicar,
the MGA TC, the TR7, the DeLorean, the Lotus Elite, are possibilities.
We already have the Explorer (a 98). Many of these were probably
unsuitable as regular daily drivers, but as automotive toys they could
be a lot of fun.

Considering that the list included several technology-killers, it's
surprising that the Vega wasn't included, for the crime of turning the
industry away from aluminum-block engine technology.

There is not one Japanese car but I could mention a least 10 or more under the
same criteria that they used in this article that would fit nicely.
Not sure what they are going after but every car has it's faults, so we should
list all cars as the worst. All comes down to what you like not what other
people like.

The reason there are no Japanese cars on the list is because there is no
more hard proof of how bad the early Jap cars were because they have all
changed into iron oxide.
You are right about likes and dislikes. What right does anyone have to tell
you that your vehicle whatever it is should be on this list. What about a
Prius when people start wanting to get rid of their spent batteries in your
back yard. Will the greens complain?-- Bill --
