yes - I forgot about that one.

and the old Datsun convertable of the same era.

for some reason they stopped making the curvy cars by the 70's though ;-/.

I personally think cars have been fugly and/or boring since the early 70's through the late-90's.

the re-issue of the Beattle in 99 then the Cooper and later the Thunderbird and so on broke the "bubble-car everything must look like a Ford Taurus" 20yr draught).

Retro look I like. The one thing Chrystler is good at. GM could learn style from them IMO.

Yaris is nice because it looks like the stereotypical "Concept car" (not the kookier looking ones but the more pragamatic ones I remember seeing models of in the late 80's early 90's. Yaris is not gaudy or cheap looking (refering to the Hatch - I think the Sadan looks "Stodgy" - no offense ;-).......).
