Is it just me, or are all cars turning into things that look like
they just came out of a sphincter? At least brown is less popular
today.

I swear, if I took identical photos of most cars from the last few
years, blacked out trivia (trim, grille, wheels, door handles,
etc) even their hardcore fans would be hard-pressed to tell one
from another.

I know aerodynamic stuff determines a lot these days, but sheesh,
do designers today do anything besides look over each others
shoulders? I suppose it's their corporate masters that make this
sort of thing happen, but it's still depressing.

Bentley Civic! Ford Taur-U-us I mean Jag-U-ar.
