Save the Cars


What, in the name of Giorgetto Giugiaro, is happening to cars today? Take a good long look at the bonnet of the new Sonata Embera for instance.Looks like Hyundai has resorted to rain water harvesting.That bonnet can store a good two litres of water when the monsoon kicks in! And cars are dropping their jaws all over the place too! Look at the new Mitsubishi Evolution X the new Nissan Skyline GTR and the whole Audi range and you'll see what I mean (Even VW's Passat and Golf are acquiring a beard now).true, they look stunning but if one car marker starts the design theme, why do all other car marker follow? And it's very disappointing to see that that Ferraris are getting uglier by the year. The Bugatti Veyron looks like an oversized bug but still manages to look superb thanks to enormous road presence. I'm glad to see that Ford India has stuck to an honest design theme for the Fiesta and the new Honda City is not as eye-offending as it was.
