<VV> Car & Driver 10 Best Worst List; Autoweek ~ "ill-handling"

[Sethracer at aol.com]

Uh - no. The 10 "regrets" list refers to any "automotive" award - Several  
on the list were Motor Trend "Car of the Year" winners, not Car & Driver  
awards. They could have picked the 1960 Motor Trend Car of the Year - But they 
 didn't! I have enjoyed various C&Ds over the years, probably subscribing a 
 few times, for a few years at a time. When Road & Track and Car & Drive  
used to compete - Now they are owned by the same company - Each magazine  
used to zing the other one, as well as themselves. I remember "Carp &  Drivel" 
and "Rod & Truck" parody issues. The best issue, sometimes is where  the 
magazine gets conned - Like the Pontiac GTO that Pontiac lent them for  a test 
(the one with the 421 HO motor).  Today my Road & Track arrived.  It had a 
special offer to R&T readers to add Car and Driver. Somewhere,  John Bond is 
spinning in his grave.  - Seth Emerson

<Interesting, and refreshing, that the Corvair didn't make that  Car and 
Driver dishonorable mention list. At least they did their  homework.>

The list in question was one wherein Car & Driver  expressed regret for 10 
cars that they had previously named to their 10 Best  List.  Car & Driver 
did not start their 10 Best List until 1983  therefore, they never named the 
Corvair to their 10 Best List and could not  have regretted having done so.
