<VV> Corvair a miss? MT thinks so

[David B. Neale]

If Angus McKenzie knew well of what he writes, he would not have stopped at 'Y' for Yugo, but would have surely continued to 'Z', with the Zaporozhets.  That little Soviet-built cutie, in its last incarnations, was modelled on an early-model Corvair,
(although much smaller), didn't look bad at all, and had a rear-mounted, air-cooled V4 engine of something like 750 cc.  There are still many thousands buzzing around The Ukraine and Russia.

>>Motor Trend editor-in-chief, Angus McKenzie, kicks off the magazine's 60th  
anniversary with his "The Big Picture" column on page 8 of the  September 
'09 issue in which he brags; "We've driven the hits--GTO, Camaro,  Taurus, 
Accord--and the misses--Edsel, Corvair, Pinto, Yugo."  
 
BTW, not to engage in an ad hominem counter-attack but that guy's always  
looked like biker white trash to me!  Seriously, have you seen his photo  
accompanying the column?!<<
