Will look at the rest later but that looks to me like a wishlist in the making.

its not just me then?
Re: worst cars?
Hell no! Some very fine cars are there.
But hang about.. Isn't this an American list? Thought so, and that being the case, which utter pilchard came up with this bollocks:
cars, such as the lovely Corvette and an even earlier example that the internet has found for me:
So far, there's so much cobblers on one site that it could be mistaken for the Daily Mail, but there's more..
On the Triumph TR7:
Hmm, Pontiac Aztec? Ugly? I think it has a nose like an Anteater and any car that resembles an animal can't be all bad.
Nope, the author of that list is definitely a total feckwit. I read every word of the piece and looked at all of the lovely motors so I stand by my "wish list" comment and that's that.
But hang about.. Isn't this an American list? Thought so, and that being the case, which utter pilchard came up with this bollocks:
Quite apart from the much earlier Lotus Elite, a stressed GRP monocoque, was it not the case that the first few GRP bodied motors to make mass production were the Daimler SP250 and some AmericanThe Reliant Robin was groundbreaking in one important way though. This car was the first in the world to have a body made entirely of fiberglass.
cars, such as the lovely Corvette and an even earlier example that the internet has found for me:
There's the expected dose of utter twaddle throughout the entire piece but really, when I found that the author, probably using his teeth to scratch the words on the padded walls of his special room, had included the Trabant in the list, I wanted to punch something but resisted the temptation in spite of this asspiece having written this:The Glasspar G2, manufactured by Bill Tritt in 1949, was the first sports car with an all GRP body built by an American manufacturer. It was built using methods that enjoyed a resurgence much later on, in the many kit and replica cars that appeared on the market. It used a Jeep chassis but one with a desirable extra in the shape of a highly modified V8 engine.
Now, forgive me if I'm wrong here, but according to every Trabant-related article I can find, the outer panels were made from a cotton-based phenolic resin known as Duroplast and these panels were non-structural, being attached to a steel structure.the body of the car was recycled from used fiberglass

On the Triumph TR7:
Not by me it isn't! I suspect that there's far more love than there is hatred for the 7 these days. The American is wrong. Again.Even all these years after the car was launched, it’s still mocked and ridiculed wherever it goes.

Re: worst cars?
Definitely a case of the aesthetic appreciation gene missing it's target at conception. That's the above two comments not the worst car list.

Re: worst cars?
I want this:
I also wanted a Tata Nano so much that I set about finding a used one for sale in New Zealand but the lucky few who have an example of the best thing ever to come out of India aren't selling. Why head an article like that with an image of the tiny Indian device? It's a clean sheet design which is actually pretty darned good if the New Zealanders are telling the truth in their road tests on the Nano.
The Honda Fuya-Jo is surely the ideally proportioned vehicle for me, interior layout appears to be similar to that of the daily bB, it has lots of audio gear from the factory and it's a Japanese mini-MPV, ergo it won't go wrong. So now I need this too:
I'm loving this list!

They do come up with some constipation curing designs in the Far East. This one had me reaching for the puke bowl.

Re: worst cars?
Sorry, GHT, but regardless of whether one likes the idea that the octagon is these days applied to foreign-built cars, that thing is stunning. Ideal for narrow parking spots too, what with the scissor action doors.
OK, so it's not in the same league as an orange Allegro 1750 SSS, but it would do the job..
