Can Detroit come back?


I took it round the block, originally uploaded by p2wy.

Why can't automakers be imaginative anymore? Why can't they make something unique and beautiful?

My take.

They don't want to be car companies. They want to be finnance companies. The cars are a loss leader for the finnancing business.

Good point.... I laughed last night seeing a GMAC ad. "Put your money in a GMAC CD"... "It's safe".

Uh-huh.

Over the summer I went to a car show with my 70-something aunt and 80-something uncle and I asked them, "did all the cars on the road look like this?"

"Yes."

"All these cool designs and colors?"

"Yes."

Then we got into a bright green Honda Element and drove home.
