[V8] Deja vue all over again....

[urq]

I haven't seen the pictures myself, but it has been a characteristic I've
been watching develop in several manufacturer's cars for a while now.  Who
knows for sure, but it seems to me that it started with the large boxy SUVs
when they morphed to the more rounded shape.  As people realized that they
were tiring of needing a step ladder to "hop" in the car for a quick errand
cars got a bit closer to the ground again.  The slanted tail section makes a
car that can carry more than a sedan look sleeker.  

I too still appreciate the lines of the T44 Avant ... in fact the one in my
garage might be rolling out sooner than later ... but I wonder if there
might be some ovlov fans who might consider even the T44 Avant to be a bit
of a rip off ...

I haven't spent nearly enough time reading about the Detroit Auto Show, but
I did look over some of the information about the new Ford.  Not bad looking
car, was my first impression.

Then I looked at another new car that my wife has pronounced unfit for human
viewing, but which I think isn't bad at all....of course I haven't seen one
"in the flesh" yet.

Interesting automotive developments so it would seem.

Oh, but wait:  I have now been around long enough to think I am seeing
history repeat itself.

That Honda thingy? And that pretty decent looking little Ford....hmmmmm:
reminds me of something...ah, ah, ah.....lessee.....let me think......

Why: am I the ONLY person who thinks that the Type 44 Audi Avant didn't look
just like these cars did, back when it first appeared?  

It wasn't exactly a station wagon back then, but it also wasn't a hatch back
coupe....it was a, a, a, a....well, an AVANT.

And now I see the shape reappearing, and I want another Audi 200 Avant worse
than ever.
