Got a kick out of this article:
It touches on the design requirements others have alluded to here in different discussions (by those who have worked at Ford and/or another automotive companies). We all get so frustrated by auto designs for vehicles that we think should look better, or just different than they do. But there are always very strict requirements the designers have to meet - and a lot of those requirements are a result of consumer demand, which doesn't always mean the car will look the way we think it should. Their hands are tied. We shouldn't always blame them. We should blame the average consumer and globalization for all the bland look alike designs.
