<VV> They're bashing the Corvair again!

[Charles Lee]

Hmmm...
"<snip>GM must also overcome history. Dating to the Corvair in the 1960s, 
its executives viewed small cars as money-losers...<snip>"

Wasn't the Corvair (Monza) the small car that showed Detroit that little 
cars didn't need to be cheap ?

I guess reporters just want to print what provokes people regardless of 
relevance to truth.
Besides, how many will confront them on it, and what good would it do, get a 
retraction ?

Aarrgghh !!  People for the most part cannot appreciate something as subtly 
beautiful as the Corvair ... alas ...
