I must admit that I disagree with some of the stuff in that article. First, I thought the Mustang II Ghia was actually the best looking Mustang II made (good friend had one). The 90's Lincoln Town Cars were actually extremely well built...why else would they have been so popular as limos and NYC livery cabs. The Vega may have been junk, but they were hugely popular on the drag strip at one time, once people figured out you could shove a huge V8 in it and turn 9's in the quarter mile. As for the French auto industry, to their credit, they did produce the Peugeot 505. They were built like tanks, handled great, and were used as taxis in Paris for decades.
