Perhaps these "classics" would make you nostalgic for the days when you'd dare call the 914s' "styling" "awkward". Compared to many of todays' automotive styling exercises, I'd say the 914 is an example of restraint, clarity and purposeful design.

Come to think of it, the Prius doesn't look that different from the Aztek.
(IMG:http://www.familycar.com/RoadTests/PontiacAztek/Images/LeftFront.jpg) Yep, form follows function. It's just that GM screwed the pooch when designing the face of the Aztek. But Subaru was just as guilty with the Tribeca: (IMG:http://www.edmunds.com/pictures/VEHICLE/2007/Subaru/2007.subaru.b9tribeca.20092847-396x249.jpg) |
