Thank goodness we have automotive journalists to accurately guide us.

So much misinformation in that, it's not even funny.

I must like being scared... 2/10 on the list. My first "sports" car was an '85 Fiero.

LOL msn autos.
List goes from anything with a Takta airbag (ugh...everything?) to Porsche 917....
All while throwing in the Viper and providing a couple Gen1 woes...
What a useless team of journalist (if they are even real people these days, might be software generating useless lists to generate hits on the website)
Ha!

So that guy has driven a 917? What a tool bag.... I bet he hasn't.
How come a Explorer with Firestone tires from the 90's isn't on the list?

Stupid article by a stupid person, what a waste of my time reading it.

Whenever you consider the reasons why the Viper failed to sell enough just remember these often repeated automobile journalist and mainstream magazine nonsense comments as being part of it. The more exotic the car the less suitable it will be for the masses, and the fewer journalists that will be able to properly evaluate it, but it seems almost as if one idiot reviewed it and everyone else plagiarized it.
Reviews should come with a warning stating the author might be ill prepared to appreciate the purpose and performance abilities of the test vehicle, and in some cases might be just plain stupid.

The person that wrote that must drive a Prius. He's a moron.

The more that link is clicked the more incentive the author/publisher gets to write/publish more articles. Whether you agree or not doesnt really matter. Just another bias/no clue article about the car.
OP should have highlighted, copy, paste. Done. No page views, no advertisements potentially clicked.

Probably the same journalists that complain about the viper, too loud, you hear and feel everything..blah, blah, blah. Same comments for the 911R, yet viewed in a positive light.
I like the next "article" that includes the Pontiac Aztek and Nissan Juke in the category of "meanest looking cars ever created" that's filled with Lamborghinis, Ferraris and old school muscle.

The author is Cherise Threewitt, and she's a freelance journalist. She just might be as knowledgeable as some at Motor Trend ;)

I find few journalists to not be useless.
Journalists can't drive which is why they like cars that do the work for them and make them feel warm and fuzzy inside. And I am proud of my "scary" car. Chicks dig guys that aren't scared of it.

If you have at teenage son, the Pontiac Aztec functions as very effective birth control too. : )

The Takata airbags were a real nuisance on the Porsche 917

"Auto" journalists are just people with English degrees that write about cars.
They could just as well write about toasters and produce the same output.

If we had reporters like Denis Jenkinson still around , cars like the Viper would get their due recognition . Seems that manufacturers with the biggest marketing budget get the most favorable reviews .

Perhaps Ms. Threewitt is writing under a pseudonym. She clearly has closer relations to the Halfwitts.

Yes, I believe you're right...her mother's name is Dim and her father's name is Nit.

Just goes to show what the average, absent minded americans that know nothing about our cars perceive it as. Yes it's a death sentence by most sheep's standards. That's exactly how I want it.

Don't those things have a tent built into the hatch? Maybe it was just an option but if so that sounds like a bed on wheels which would be quite the opposite of birth control.
