Yeah !


This is the comformity I ment, and even though I wouldnīt like to have one, I salute Dodge/ Plymouth for having the courage to build cars like the PT Cruiser, Prowler and Viper !
The VW pu truck shown in Detroit? was a step in the right direction but .. " nah, letīs build cars like everyone else ", 
I like the slogan " Dare to be different", even if I donīt remember which brand that used it, kinda vaugley remember it to be Harley, in wich case it doesnīt apply ( at least in Sweden ) with all the guys with the same helmet, leather jacket, jeans, boots, beard, sunglasses, handlebars ( The armpit ventilator is the most popular) , and exhaust systems wich makes you wonder which army they belong to :-)


No, long live the aerodynamic profile of the Vanagon, with itīs disadvantages !
