Introduction

Top Ten Game Changers: Once upon a time, cars were the exclusive prevue of the very rich. Then along came Henry Ford and his car for the masses, the Model T, changing the game forever. Automotive history is rife with these kinds of game changers, and in these days of intense competition, high technology and rapidly changing consumer expectations, there are more than ever before. Today’s modern game changers include cars that are very small, cars that are very large, cars that are expensive, and cars that are cheap. They share one thing in common: They change minds and attitudes, and sometimes shake our suppositions to the core.
