Infamy, infamy! MSN have got it in for these cars

[Karmann Ghiaman]

MSN's latest effort car-wise. They have certainly stretched a point, many being very good vehicles represented by one notorious individual that someone famous had a mishap with. There are, however, many good old shite friends in there & no doubt much debate will be engendered!http://cars.uk.msn.com/News/car_news_ar ... id=5419390

Citroën 15: the world's first production front wheel drive car? FFS, I thought people who wrote these articles were supposed to know about cars.

I had a bit of a look at that but decided it was too much cobblers as usual from MSN.

It certainly was. And more recently (but still not as recently as the Onze Légère) the Cord L-29 was FWD, and that came out, as its name suggests, in 1929. Alvis also made a FWD car in the late '20s, but that wasn't a great success.

Aren't the crucial words in the sentence "mass production"?
