I'd argue that wasn't an "Apples and Apples" comparison

of course the chevy is more fun

fair point though.

The whole thing is subjective- thats why, even when ford was lashing out his Model T's, there were other car makers on the go.


let me say this though,

I prefer a well balanced RWD car to a well balanced FWD car in principal.

However, give me a mk1 golf GTI and a twisting backroad, and I'd be sure to have a hoot.
