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.
