Ok- Since the Elephent was brought up for discussion I am going to speak my mind. It's Ugly. My perception will change over time only if uglier cars are made. It may be useful, practical, functional, reliable, economical- it's comical. I'm a little older than 40 something and I would'nt spend that much money for plastic. Not too many of us from the steel era would. In fact , I'm surpised that the new Superman is not called " The man of plastic". Sure as shootin' someone's going to tell me the new plastic is stronger than steel. It really looks like a life-size kid's toy from the '80's. After all, nostalgia sells. No flame suit needed because I have bunches of gas heaters. Robert 1982 Westfalia
