Ford Taurus

at extreme risk to my credibility, i want to confess my affection for this monster.

after i read mary walton's book car, i understood how and why this jellybean was designed. if you squint your eyes a little bit, it's actually pretty. not hardly an edge on the whole thing, the jaguar xk-e influence comes through if you know to look for it. it was a case of too much of a good (oval) thing being just too damn much. but a real A-for-effort affair.

this is really excellent. i am very, very proud that gm has, at long last, knocked one out of the park. it's sad that gas prices have doomed this car to fail already, because it deserves far better. the gesture is consistent and badass, the details are very well finessed. and it just looks so damn cool.

steelcase drank the car design kool-aid

i was very impressed, at first, by the trendy, colorful, fresh stuff that steelcase had at their exhibit. trendy it was, right on the organic-networked-flexible metaphors. however. timeless and lasting? appropriate for an office setting? geared toward their mostly conservative clients? those marks were missed.
