Hey, I understand, I'm Vice president of the Stagehands Local I.A.T.S.E. 578 here in town.
They build crap for no reason, ugly crap too. then figure out it is a money loser.
They keep building big gas guzzling SUV's and rebates till they clog the market, raising prices till the consumer is so over financed they can't buy again. Then panic when sales drop. Who suffers? the buyers with their over financed cars and the workers still building more to park on the lots. sooner or later it had to give.

Perhaps we could call the Hemi the Hummer, er, no, that ones taken too!

Design? I'm a keep it simple kind of guy. Honda Element [except for the 4 bucket seat stupidity] Or Scion XB!!!...
I do approve of the new Mustang. They got that one right. Stayed true to the name.
Unlike the creation coming out called Camaro!

Disclaimer, The preceeding is not the view of this list, but rather the opinions of one list member.
