Having looked at the complete list, it's clear the person/people who
compiled it probably weren't even born when the cars were available - and
I'm talking 20 years ago and less.
But it's the usual sensationalist ill-informed and unsubstantiated claptrap
that comes out of most the so-called journalism we're served up with these
days - wherever we live.
When he attacks the MGA Twin Cam....he mentions that he has an MGA that he
restored himself. I think he wrote the work to fit Time magazine reader
demographics, so he makes fun of anyone who is not a tree hugging, middle class
(well, rich but ashamed of it) Prius driver.

As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg
carburetors in his vintage Triumph, highly functional yet pleasingly formed,
perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced
hands, the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and
adjusted as
described in chapter seven of the shop manual.
