Odd... That's OK, of course. Different flavors and all that.

I do agree on how designers have to work around so many standards. New cars are stupid tall! My folks just bought a new Taurus, and the trunk lid is taller than my wife's '93 300ZX. I'm completely serious!

I am not completely convinced until I see it in person, but at least in photos, I love the thing.

Anyone know when they're due to hit showrooms?
