    how about " creamofsumyoungguy ". or how about " he thought he farted but he crapped himself. "
    and to add a few things to this thread, the over use of the word Hybrid or Green Technology.

    Nice. What about car maker or production bankruptcy?

    I have really soured on Alcantara. It is becoming the herpes of expensive interiors to carbon fiber's crabs.
    Admittedly, I have never touched it so I don't know if it feels wonderful or not. Nonetheless, it is ugly looking and I hope it fades away just like shagpile.

    It is a superior product in my opinion with several advantages, but when someone gets snobby about it just remember that it's the same as "microfiber" couches. It's polyester with a fancy name.

    Alcantara is the "Rich Corinthian Leather" of our time, but thankfully there's no Ricardo Mantalban around to do commercials for it.

    The truth is that for the markets manufacturers target, cars are appliances.
    Even performance niches are affected by this mentality, the result being few genuinely artful solutions to design issues created by the performance envelope sought. Add packaging/interior/safety criteria mandated by the buying public and their governments, just to muddy it up even further. Design schools pop out graduating classes with alarming regularity that grew up on HotWheels and little education in design or art history. The result is similar to LCD dining the past 3 or 4 decades: Culinary schools teach how to plate for effect, not cook with any skill or creativity.

    Personally, I'd like to see a return to niche manufacturers providing variety of the sort when the auto industry was young. Wouldn't being able to choose from a couple of hundred auto makers be fun?
    Never own more cars than you can keep charged batteries in...

    Ah yes, in this case globalisation ftl.

    Even not that long ago cars were more unique.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.

    I cannot see cars as bussiness items, I'm sorry.

    Even so, there's nothing wrong in making money. What's bad is greed.

    There is wrong in making money when it's at the expense of others.
