So the talent is here, some are just being employed by Japanese companies... It's funny all the American cars I like are based on old designs - like the Mustang GT I believe Nissan’s design team is from California.

They were cool for a second (about 4 years ago), and now look dated. People driving them used to be making the statement, "I'm hip and had some extra cash lying around, so I bought one of these." Now they say, "I'm too poor for something new and sporty, but my rich neighbor gave me a great deal on his out-dated PT." It reminds me of the horrible aqua color that cars came in at the end of the '80s. Cool for a few minutes, and now the bell-bottoms of paint jobs. -M Saw an article a few months ago about novelty cars like the PT Cruiser.

That's, um, really, REALLY ugly. I thought PT Cruisers set a record low that wouldn't be broken for some time. Clearly, I was wrong. Wow. That’s, um, really, REALLY ugly.

They build good cars, but they are always just a couple of years behind the curve on looks. We in the US have the most innovative engineers and designers, yet we can't get these designs out in time to out-maneuver Japan or Europe. Why??? Bureaucracy? GM is too busy being creative about ways to pay healthcare rather then design cars? What’s the deal with Detroit??
