    If the little curve of the rear window jutting into the c-pillar can be called a Hoffmeister kink, I move that henceforward the triangular hockey-stick c-pillar shape be known as the Teague swoop. Too bad Richard Teague didn't patent it. That swoop is everywhere now. The CR-Z has only a weak version of it. For the stronger version, try the Nissan Murano, Mazda 3, Mitsubishi Outlander, Toyota RAV-4, and the late Pontiac Vibe, to name just a few. Once seen as an offensive outlier, this styling tic has become a mainstream cliche. Go figure.

  • Lorenzo Heh. The major powers, military or economic, set up these regulators for the smaller countries - the big guys do what they want, and always have. Are the Chinese that unaware?
  • Lorenzo The original 4-Runner, by its very name, promised something different in the future. What happened?
  • Lorenzo At my age, excitement is dangerous. one thing to note: the older models being displayed are more stylish than their current versions, and the old Subaru Forester looks more utilitarian than the current version. I thought the annual model change was dead.
  • Lorenzo Well, it was never an off-roader, much less a military vehicle, so let the people with too much money play make believe.
  • EBFlex The best gift would have been a huge bonfire of all the fak mustangs in inventory and shutting down the factory that makes them.Heck, nobody would even have to risk life and limb starting the fire, just park em close together and wait for the super environmentally friendly EV fire to commence.
