Human eye prefers curves just like everything in Nature.

The current style in Autos and other things is angles.

Are you attracted to an angular Robot or a curvy.....

I mean given what they had to start with, I think the appearance is one of the few things they got right. I wouldn't call it sexy or beautiful but a clean one certainly has a presence. Sadly most of them sure aren't clean anymore.

Even a Ford engineer friend complained to me about it when they came out

I completely agree. Problem is they were working with pretty much decade old parts and charging an absolute premium. Just as a quick comparison take a loaded 300 SRT/8 that came out only 2 years later for only $5,600 more. An entire new modern line up with almost 50% more power, another gear, and WAY more available amenities.

I’m not a Chrysler fanatic obviously but that’s a lot of difference in two competing American sedans with only a two year difference and the whole world new what Dodge was coming up with for a long time. In fact I’m sure that helped in the lack luster sales on the Merc.

There was a Panther community member (who shall remain nameless) years ago who was in love with, and wanted to marry a cartoon.
True story.

Would that cartoon character have been Jessica Rabbit?

I remember a few members who were in love with their own reflection, but a cartoon character? Gonna have to think on that one. :hmmm:
