It's always interesting to view these masterpieces from the past. Too bad GM. has not been able to move forward past their clouded perception of what Americans would like to see produced. A while ago there was a posting of a concept sketch for the new mid-engine prototype. It was really well done and would shred the sales of other exotics if produced. The end result would be a huge increase in other G.M. Car sales as the public eagerly would want to identify with such a cutting edge force. Well, the recently posted mules look like they were designed by mule ( or, what is the other word for a mule).

The previously posted sketch:

If it were about costs, Apple Computers wouldn't exist since PC's cost a fraction to manufacture.

If it were about second guessing, there'd never be Lamborghini since they would've stuck with only making tractors.

If it were about giving the consumers what they had no idea they wanted, then we'd see all these great things.
