    Interesting read from Farhad Manjoo about how indistinguishable new vehicles have become:

    I agree, although my interest in car design doesn't go much newer than the early 1990s. The cars that really get me weak-kneed are usually vintage or classic, because you could identify them without seeing a badge - what else could a 365 GTB/4 be but a Ferrari? Now I pull into the Porsche dealer and there's a row of SUVs that all look nice enough but are sort of part of the scenery. Only a green GT2 snaps me back to attention.

    They have to be similar because of the requirements of aerodynamic design that all the manufacturers adhere to.

    Can't stand how small the windows are on new vehicles. Why is this?

    Higher crash test scores. Less glass means more metal.
