This is the interior of the newly facelifted Porsche 911/997, IMO it doesn't look anything like a proper Porsche dash>  Porsche of all people should know that light colored dash will reflect onto the windshield and that geeky wheel could have come right out of a Nissan Maxima.  The classic 911 dash was one of the best ever, I hate it when they forget what made them great.  1973 911Carrera RS 2.7

that the tranny tunnel was very small on that old Porsche, then I remembered that the engine is in the back.  Don't particularly care for that steering wheel, though. |

| The other day I saw a hearse and at first I did not quite recognize it. Then I realized that it was a Chevy Uplander conversion. It actually looked quite nice. The front end is squarish enough that it fits into a "conservative" application. The rear quarter windows were covered over with something. | |

This "M1 Homage" concept car is popping up in the car mags. Automobile speculates that it may be ordered into production as a competitor for the Audi R8>   Just what we need, another BMW sportscar with off-the-wall styling --------------------------------- Memo to BMW Design Group: 1)Leave the avante-garde stuff to Audi, they do it with out going ugly. 2) You're all fired! Firs the E60, then the Z4, now this.... enough! |

Replying to: nippononly (May 21, 2008 1:01 pm) In general, until the last few years, I have hated Ford's styling, but a few of their new models look ok, but I doubt I will ever buy a Ford, their interiors are still bizarre to me, not as much as they used to be 15 years ago, but still weird. My dad had a never ending series of bad Fords that kind of turned me off of them anyway. I like the higher beltlines, oversized windows always looked wrong to me. There used to be a website where some guy took and photoshopped then current models to make the windows smaller (Not extend past the point of the hood and trunk levels) and some cars were only slighty improved, but some looked GREAT. One of the things that sold me on my current car, an 08 Charger, was the high beltline, and the sanely sized windows. HIDEOUS: Ford Focus Dodge Durango (They really messed it up) Dodge Caliber Newer Mercedes and BMWs Buick Enclave Prius Chevy Colorado and whatever the GMC clone is. EHHHH.. Chrysler Aspen, fiixes some of the Durango's issues, but too much chrome! Dodge Avenger, Mini Charger ok, just not quite right. Ford Taurus, Boring Honda Ridgeline, just something wrong Porsche Boxster, I just don't get it. A friend of mine foams at the mouth when he sees one! Dodge Nitro New Chevy Camaro. Current GM full sized pickups The vast majority of current cars and SUVs. LIKE: Charger, needs a different grill, but ok. I have no complaints about the interior. 300, same comments as the Charger. Corvette Ford Edge GMC Acadia Saturn Outlook Dodge Ram F150, but Ford STILL can't do fender flares on the F150 right! Want so badly I can hardly stand it: Dodge Challenger, in black, or arrest me red!
