Well, I wouldn't go so far as to lump Tom Peters and politicians in the same general category.................

Some things to think about when viewing specific parts of a car vs taking in the entire car as a whole: what's it do to the flow of air over, around, under, or through the car? The ass-end of a car is just as important as the front of the car when it comes to aero. I know it may seem like they just designed the ass of the cars (C5/C6/C7) in a vacuum, or they ran out of ideas, or ... (I've heard them all... :)) but in truth they didn't. They had to balance aero and styling to try and keep the Cd down.

Boy, if you think the C7 looks 'asian' just wait until you see the new 'EvoMustang' in the next year or two!

Yell at your critters. Tell them pedestrians don't need protection, they need to watch out for oncoming cars. Otherwise we're going to get some strange-looking vehicles in the near future.

Interesting you say that. In our talk with Tom, I commented on how this car was more "Dense" with visual features and cues, especially compared to the previous generation. His comment was that younger designers are more apt to cram more in, and he referenced various social and physical influences. Also, theres a significant Asian influence, and their design tends to reflect that it's difficult to view cars as a whole in their tight cities, and the designs are driven by 'snippet views'.
I think one indication of GMs desire to court a younger buyer is the dash, and it's various configurations. Old geezers aren't too enthralled by the complexity of that, I imagine.,
