The really shitty thing is that the car companies can make affordable and sexy cars but fail time after time, because the xbox generation will buy Nissan Cubes and Scion xB's because they have zero taste.

If this somehow makes it to production not too shabby:

Hell i don't even like the new BMW's and Audi's. Bland seems to be the flavor of this generation of cars. At least when you can spend $50k+ there's cars worth looking at and wanting to drive. If a car blends in with the background of other bland, featureless cars then it's just that...bland and featureless. It will definitely be interesting to see what Nissan and Mazda have coming up in response to the overwhelming reaction to the FRS/BRZ and who knows maybe some American car company will dust off the creativity and make a desireable sports car under $26k that isn't just a low power version of another car.

Also....Blech!:barf:

So strange that that car and the new Viper are technically the same brand...guess they spent all the creativity on the Viper and just copy/pasted the Jetta with different lights for the Dart....

Tell me it isn't a dodge...it's like saying Acura isn't a Honda...do you really think that SRT engineers aren't Dodge engineers?

Most exciting visual line up:

1. Hyundai
2. Kia
3. Audi
4. Suzuki, yes, suzuki, even though they no longer sell in the US, their styling cues have been consistantly unique and have become very very good looking.

Anything beyond that and were getting into price ranges that exceed ford and gm's ability. The most boring lineups have been consistantly ford, gm, and dodge coming in last place. Thank god they seperated the viper from the dodge badge. The only saving grace for dodge right now is the challenger, and thats purely aesthetics.

The Koreans are taking the Japanese to style school right now, that's for sure!

One this is for sure, the domestic auto industry almost completely failing was the best thing to happen to it. Period. All have better small car (and soon medium car) offerings than any have had ever.
