    Yeah... OK.... I understand....

    But why add ugly?

    Not everyone adds ugly and they need to meet the same standards.... Well except maybe the Chinese car companies....They have their own style of ugly... Even when they copy...:(

    I think somebody is getting desperate to explain why progress happens....
    Or maybe they just need clicks....gotta get the advertising revenue in...
    Why is it that MF has become a site of essays interspersed with PR information from MINI and BMW?
    Just wondering....

    The clicks get the factory loaner cars....

    And the shrimp BBQ invites for the annual model intros at the sunny Greek islands...

    Where's there's smoke there's fire...this would not come up unless it was a point of contention within marketing / styling groups.

    Topic makes me think of my Grandfather. When it was announced there would be a new Ford product called the 'Edsel' he was convinced it would be the return of the Model A.

    It was before my time. My mom was a professional model at one time she drove a pink edsel convertible with all the controls in the center of the steering wheel.
