<VV> Late 4-doors

 Simple, Ken. We're using generally accepted definitions. Otherwise, we'll be constantly arguing with people, while everyone understands the generally accepted definitions. I don't have the energy to correct people on something where the generally accepted definitions are understood by all.

Probably the most used 'generally accepted' would be the statement that Ralph 
Nader killed the Corvair!  

Just because something is 'generally accepted' does not mean it is correct.  So 
why are so many 'Corvair people' willing to settle for incorrect or less than 
correct statements / names?  Why do some even promote those erroneous thoughts!  
Now that the marketplace is finally recognizing the Corvair's engineering 
excellence shouldn't we, as the modern day promoters of the marque, hold 
ourselves to a higher standard?
