Certainly not crap, very well engineered cars in fact, I've had a few and with innovative technology for the time they certainly look like classics to me, why do you think Volvo bought them!
I've had classic Austin, Morris, MG, Porsche, Jaguars, Mercedes, BMW, Daimlers, Volvo, Cadillac amongst 30 other marques, with all the cars I've had I appreciate their good points, their innovation and their inadaquacies but go to the Netherlands and tell the people there that DAFs were not classics and crap to boot and you will be faced with an arguement or two! Contemporary road yests were really very complementary as well so I don't know where you get all that from.
BTW, Automan wasn't saying the DAF was a vintage car, he was saying that although he doesn't like Vintage cars (build between 1919 and 1930) but he can understand those that do
