Enjoy the Cruiser he said

American auto companies need to get their head in the game. Not only are they losing money and market share hand over fist, they’re becoming stupider in the process. While my Volvo is being repaired, I had the unkind privilege of an American rental car. Not only was it a PT Cruiser, it was a purple PT Cruiser. Whoever designed this new 2007 vehicle had a screw loose. It is the most non-ergonomic vehicle I had ever been in. The electric window buttons are in the middle of the dash console, the door handles were in the armpit of the door and the dash (not only do you have to reach for it, you have to twist your wrist counterclockwise to get a grip on it), and it’s purple. Who the hell makes a purple car?! You can’t tell me there’s truly a demand for it. Driving it was as bad as the design. The car screamed mercy driving up Buffalo street and felt like a toy that was going to fall apart at any moment. Keep in mind this was a NEW car. Most importantly, I felt like a faglord driving it. It’s a no-brainer why American auto companies are failing. They design stupid vehicles and are only able to sell them to rental car companies…That they own. One great way to overcome the market, sell your shit to yourself. Brilliant.

Your car is canary yellow. That is all.
