I believe that this is a good thing, too, as GM seems to be more into wacky 'futuristic' styling versus the more retro looks that Ford, and especially DaimlerChrysler, are into. Anyone seen pictures

I agree also. But in the case of Jaguar, look at it from Ford's point of view. When they bought the company, they inherited a factory with a dirt floor and 60-year old tooling. They really had no cho
