If we wish to laugh at our own in the UK, "crap cars", the companion volume to last year's "crap towns"( A volume which never leaves my coffee table), has recently been published. I imagine that the '70's is the golden era, with British Leyland, Talbot and Vauxhall near to the fore - but I won't know until I pull the stocking off the end of the bed, Dec 25!
Personally, I applaud any manufacturer, large or small, who has the courage to make a car that stands out from the crowd, and the fact of whether the end result can be described as crap, or not, might well be ignored in this age of overwhelming globalisation and standardisation.
