These lists are usually fairly predictable, no surprise to see the Multipla on there.

Malvern isn’t in Warwickshire either.

What if they’re all just wrong.

Interesting that Time slapped a new date on that article, since it’s several years old. It doesn’t even look like they updated it.

So Time magazine doesn’t own the timeline? Then why are they called Time?!

Lane Motor Museum has an exact replica of one of these. Another reason to come to the Nashville Oppo meet!

I’m being Kinjad but it’s the Fuller Dymaxion

DeLorean? LM002?! LAGONDA?!?!?!

It’s that time again when we see the same cars on the same list, few of which are bad, and most of which just were commercial flops with a quirky story behind them.

Ford Model T (1909)

I made it to #2, and now I’m done.

Dan Neil is an imbecile. The “Ford Edsel” is not a make and model. The Model T is not evil for being cheap nor for ushering in the era of mobility for millions. Anything innovative but a mismatch for customer wants is not a “lemon” from customers not wanting it no more than “somehow, I dunno how this car that sucked sold millions” means that the customer of the day was “wrong”. YOU CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS, DAN. YOU JUGGINS.

More hits, paraphrases:

“

The Crosley is crap because you can see one that got crushed in a movie and watch me misdescribe what was wrong with it. Things that were meant as alternatives to cars ARE TOTALLY CARS because I said so. Also V8s are “folly”, hurr hurr. Oh and here’s a car that might not have even existed, lulz. I’m going to pick microcars from the very crowded microcar market and claim some of them are failures at random because I don’t like their looks, then slam them for traits of being microcars. “Received wisdom” about the Corvair. “Ha ha I’m British”. Wrong “received wisdom” about the Pinto. Consuliers are bad because ugly, hurr hurr. I BLAME THE EXPLORER FOR THEM DURN EVIL SUV MAJIGGERS.

“

His good choices are utterly compromised by unclear selection criteria, exuberant wrongness, arbitrary opinion, and “cute” writing - not to mention a couple burnings in effigy for some perceived sin *enabled by* the cars existence.

Utter trash. An embarrassment, as much as the last version of this list or more.

This article is utter crap.

I mean, come on, the Chrysler Sebring isn’t on there?

How many times can these one trick pony dopes rehash the same old lists? Neil is barely more the legitimate motor press than the wikipedia-schooled bloggers who run FP.

OK, between you and shop-teacher, I am committing to NOT wasting my time and precious clicks to give to this piece of shit article. Virtually anything that says ‘worst XX ever’ is clickbait, clearly this is no exception...

Dafuq?

RamblinRover Luxury-Yacht > EL_ULY

Yup. He’d rather roast a car with a crippling flaw than one which is horribly dire in every way, and the unique and exciting flawed cars are pretty much our bag, here.

When I first glanced at “7 Series 2002" I thought they were referring to the E38. Which is obviously the best and most gorgeous 7 series ever. I was ready to go on a rampage, then I read “iDrive”... Oh yea that 7, yea fuck that noise.

Exactly.

As I noted to Ramblin Rover, I’ve seen enough from your comments that I’m just refusing to give Time a click. If you’re putting the Model T on a list of the 50 worst cars of all time, I’m just going to assume that you hate cars, and are probably Alyssa Walker.

X37.9XXS > RamblinRover Luxury-Yacht

The Model T, which taught an entire nation about fixing internal combustion engines?

And where is the Sunbeam Tiger?

The Sunbeam Tiger is shrouded in the shadow of his inexplicable hateboner for Triumph.

There’s actually some decent cars on the list.

Yeah, I wish I could take my click back. Alyssa Walker had much more coherent arguments than this piece of trash article.

WilliamsSW > shop-teacher
04/27/2017 at 13:50

Haha - if you and Ramblin Rover hadn’t done it and commented, then I would have been the next victim anyways...

So it’s not just autistic screeching, it’s old autistic screeching.

Putting the model t on a list like that is pure trolling for shares.
