"The Pinto is at the end of one of autodom's most notorious paper trails, the Ford Pinto memo , which ruthlessly calculates the cost of reinforcing the rear end ($121 million) versus the potential payout to victims ($50 million). Conclusion? Let 'em burn."
Knew about the problem Forgot about the memo.

FIAT Multipla: he says works beautifully but is ugly. This makes it one of the 50 worst cars of all time? Top 50 ugliest maybe.
BMW 7 series. "Perfectly constructed, astonishingly fast and utterly besotted with technology, the big, gracious 7-series had but two flaws: "
One is a design feature that the 7 shares with the new 3s and 5s (which aren't mentioned) the other is a control he doesn't like, but uses dodgy german stereotyping to attack.
I can't see how either of these can be compared to an Edsel, Pinto, early Toyota, any British Leyland but particularly Allegros or Maxis, any KIA etc. etc.
