Ever wondered why the Ford Pinto became infamous? In the 1970s, Ford rushed the Pinto into production to compete with small Japanese imports. But engineers placed the fuel tank in a vulnerable spot, and in rear-end collisions, it sometimes exploded. Lawsuits and scandals followed, cementing the Pinto's reputation as one of the most dangerous cars ever made. Ironically, sales were strong at first, but the Pinto is now remembered as a lesson in corporate shortcuts and safety failures. | Auto Viral
