  As a designer I prefer the euro market... But I feel like the Detroit designers are coming around?

  This is an article a co-worker wrote that I wanted to share: http://moourl.com/j00rq

  What upcoming American cars have nice design?

  European cars look better, but run worse. If my Volkswagon breaks down one more time I am going to drive it off a cliff.

  that chevy cruise needs a way smaller badge on the front end and the back needs attention it is far too puckered in, it looks like it has been chopped off something not quite right about the back of it, people should buy japanese anyway best manufacturers by far and the performance is amazing.

  I think the CTS is the strongest right now... I am not really into the retro cameros and mustangs... Chip Foose is lame now.

  When the yanks give up spring leaf suspension, we can take the topic into consideration.

  In the meantime, this will destroy any US made car the next 20 years or so.

  American automobile makers have their heads stuck up ther ass, period! Their cars are junk, they generally get about 15 mile per gallon and the overall design aesthetics blow monkey balls. I will never buy a piece of crap American car again.
