Scott,
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Yesterday's issue of the Winnipeg
Free Press featured the new "Aero 8" in its "Automotive Showcase" section.
I still don't like its looks (the location of the headlights, to me, give
the car a "cross eyed look." Maybe it looks better in the
"aluminum-Fiberglas-wood."
I suppose it is all academic: at UKP 50 000, I won't be able to afford one
and I doubt if I will even see one in this neck of the woods.
