MOST cars have sucked lately, but i think the worm is turning. styling has eclipsed safety as the most important deciding factor in deciding which car to buy. As all cars are similar in safety, performance, and economy, the big difference is the styling. hence the advent of more specialized vehicle types.

ex:
pt cruiser - definately not the way i'd go, but people paid 3-5k over list for them when they came out

mini cooper - awesome looks, ridiculous cargo capacity, and selling like hotcakes

escalade- all about the bling bling

know what im sayin?
