Re: Another copy-cat!?! Prodigy(Ford...or Audi?)

["Chris Dyer" <chrisdyer@hotmail.com>]

I remember from that article that the designer left VW/Audi AG because he 
felt once he came up with the basic designs, that the look of all the cars 
for the next 6 or so years--boring.  Plus, there was no room for him to be a 
v.p., which he now is at Ford.

6 years from now our cars may look like, um, well, like they look.
