Auto
Erratica
See
this car? It's a Scion XB (2003-2006).
It's a perfectly designed vehicle because
it's
got a little
square box in front for the engine and
a big square box in
the
back
for people and goods, plus big windows
all around for good visibility. Almost
no interior
space is wasted on exterior styling or
aerodynamics. To me, all passenger cars
should
be shaped like this.
If
you buy
a swoopy
sport
sedan you're getting a teeny little trunk
with a bunch of air on top of it where
structural steel should be.
In 2007 Scion decided to "freshen" the
design by making concessions to style.
Sigh.
By
comparison, this is a Nissan Juke. I
wish that something dense, rusty, and full
of vipers falls on top of the team that
designed
it, the focus group that approved it, plus
anyone who bought one because they thought
it
was "cool".
Yeah, that's it.
