A Hell of A Woman by Jim Thompson.
Like most of Thompson's, it's a helluva story.

The famous discussion of the Corvair is just the tip of this particular iceberg. He really gives the back of his hand to the "Design over Substance" ethos that took over the industry in the mid-fifties, and points out that many of the cars built under its influence were just as dangerous to pedestrians as they were to drivers.
Picked these up today. I think I'll have enough to read for a little while.
