Right now, 145,589 people have voted and the two AMC products, Pacer 
and Gremlin, are way ahead with 20 and 19% of the votes. The Corvair 
has only 6% of the votes and is in eighth place. It doesn't look like 
we have anything to worry about. I wonder how many times Ralph has 
voted.

I think most of these cars were only bad from a marketing standpoint. A 
really bad car, in my eyes, is one with poor quality control and 
engineering. I wonder how these candidates were chosen. Typically you'd 
think of the Vega and Pinto being nominees for such a list, even though 
I loved my Vega, until it fell apart.

I cast my vote for the Chevette.
