Get Autoblog in your Google feed
To get in the holiday spirit someone asked me if I could get anything I wanted done in the auto industry what would
it be. Such an open-ended question was not easy to answer. But I’ll give it a shot by manufacturer:
- GM: Stop making cars that could be really great but are always missing one key ingredient.
- Ford: Stop making one cool car (Mustang) and then one dud (Five Hundred), cool car (Ford GT),
dud (Fairlane Concept). - BMW: Are you done Bangle-fying everything yet?
- Porsche: Please start dropping off your cars at the Autoblog Garage
- Mercedes: How about updating all your vehicles as well as you did the new SLK and CLS.
- VW: Stop playing luxury and come back to Earth
- Audi: Actually there?s not much to wish for with you guys, how about an all-new TT though.
- Acura: Another one doing a great job. Lets see a new MDX and 2-door CL in the same great
fashion as the new TL and RL. - Scion: Bigger engines for your xA and xB
- Subaru: More models and get started on the new Imprezza already
- Toyota: Where?s that long awaited Supra?
- Dodge: Just build a Charger coupe to shut up all the people so outraged over the sedan even
though it?s shorter than the original 2-door Charger was. - Chrysler: Kill the PT Cruiser already and lets see what you can fill the Neon void with.
- Mitsubishi: You seem to be on the right track with your vehicles, now how about some consumer
confidence. - Lexus: Maybe it?s time for some new models? IS 300 first will do just fine.
- ?and Mazda: No more Zoom-Zoom for 2005. (everyone saw that coming)
Merry Christmas!
