Heh heh something like that.

Although not on a level of the cynical use of generations old brand identities founded on genuine breakthrough design to appeal to gullible customers to buy products without any of the innovations that made the original versions iconic.

That rant being largely directed at the new beetle. The other 2 are apparently good cars in their own right, but still fairly derivative, and in no ways landmarks like the originals.

Apologies for going off topic and probably offending people.

Not really directed at anyone... I just wanted to say it and the opporchancity presented itself... 

Although I've been swinging back round on the blue decks front recently, it does shout 'early fibreglass GP' a bit but that's mostly psychological...
The bland uniformity of plastic GPs and Lasers in virtually indistinguishable shades of white, off white and grey is getting really quite depressing.

if that's directed at me that's really funny...
