According to CNN Money, three of the ten hottest selling cars in America are Scions. [You bought one of those, didn't you, you slavish follower of fashion.-ed. I stand chastised.]

1. RBMN:I have a pet theory that automobile design lags behind office building design by about 20 years. Boxy buildings in the mid-60’s means boxy cars in the mid-80’s. And as I recall, the office buildings of the mid-80’s had a rounder more stylish minimalism. I think my theory is holding. And I think revivalism (Mustang, etc.) is arriving right on schedule for the next few years.

Although I’m outside the demographic (and financial wherewithal) by ten years, I do agree with him that it would make an excellent taxi. It seems like that front ‘bumper’ is even more of a cow catcher than the first year model. Maybe send it to Foose.
Mar 19, 2006 - 9:49 pm 3. ShoreMark:I have a less than vague awareness of this “Scion” thing, but I do like the new “retro” Mustangs quite a lot.
In fact, getting a convertible version with the largest engine possible and driving through the center of that whacko town in CA at 26 MPH with the top down, whilst smoking a full-flavor Marlboro Red feels very appealing at the moment.

I’m waiting for news of the first plastic shrapnel fatalities.
