Time lists the 50 worst cars in history. At first, I was taken aback by how, well, un-Time-like the piece is — lots of voice, lots of slang, and kinda well written. (Time is traditionally where authorial voice goes to die.) But then I saw the author was Dan Neil, the Pulitzer-winning enfant terrible of the car-review biz. (Most car reviewers are either enfants or just plain terrible; Dan magically combines the two.) His current reviews are here.

All that said, 25 bad cars might have been enough.
