tmh8286 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I found this description of the Pinto in an online Time article, "The Fifty Worst Cars of all time": "They shoot horses, don't they? Well, this is fish in a barrel. Of course the Pinto goes on the Worst list, but not because it was a particularly bad car — not particularly — but because it had a rather volatile nature. The car tended to erupt in flame in rear-end collisions. The Pinto is at the end of one of autodom's most notorious paper trails, the Ford Pinto memo , which ruthlessly calculates the cost of reinforcing the rear end ($121 million) versus the potential payout to victims ($50 million). Conclusion? Let 'em burn. " :-o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
