Good. Such articles should help keep ti prices down.

It's funny that their main complaint is "it's cheaper than a regular e36."

That's ok, I still like my little ti. I also find it funny that the Mustang II is on here. OK, so it wasn't the best Mustang, but what's embarrasing about selling a million units in 5 years?

Ha! I own two cars that made the list. Of course, my 318ti was "corrected" with S52 power, and my Porsche 914 has a turbocharged Subaru engine. But I own 16.7% of the 12 worst!!!

Ha. I love how this is deemed an embarrassing car yet it also was mentioned that it was the second best handling car under $30k in 1997. Here's a link to that comparo, by the way.

Like JCA said, articles like this will keep the prices down for us
