Ford motor company has no design sense

I went to a car show a few weekends ago and I have to hand it to Ford...they managed to buy Jaguar and turn one of the classiest looking cars into a Taurus look alike...

Why oh why!!!!

Along with reliability and fuel economy....I like an nice looking car but man.....Ford just kills looks.

Even the Volvo doesn't look as crisp as it used to...it is slowly morphing into a Taurus too...

ick...

1. that's sad isn't it

9. we were all sick

my son missed a week of school. It was no fun running to the Drs office every couple days. But spring is coming and that is very very good.

Hope you feel better. It seems to be a very bad winter for any kind of respiratory stuff.

2. I like the Taurus design.

I like it so much that I have owned Tauruses for the past 10 years.

4. I like the new Mustang

That said, I think that if so many cars are morphing into Taurus's I blame market research. There's no way they dont' do market research, and there's no way they'd make cars look more like Taurus's unless people either liked they way they looked, or it wasn't a factor.

Thanks Market Research! You fucked us all again!

7. My favorite model Jag was the old XKE.

I loved the look of that car.
