I recall Motor Trend also included original Taurus as one of the most
influential cars of the century. MT said something like Taurus is the car
that *started* the aerodynamic styling trend. They also included *every*
Corvette model as "significant." I know *I* wouldn't include any of
them... But I'm getting my Motor Trend subs free, so I ain't whining.
