Baby You Can Drive My Car ... Beep, Beep -- Yeah!
British car designers are proving the adage that a culture is best appreciated by its guests. Newsweek has this story on a trio of Britishers who are adding a foreigner's love of all things American to the most all-American of products.
First among peers [non-hereditary, of course] is GM's Simon Cox and his Coventry-based design studio. They've done a makeover to the whole Cadillac line, including the Graphyte concept SUV, as well as the new Corvette.
Then there's a chap named Trevor Creed, responsible for Chrysler's 300C, and Peter Horbury, who appears next in line to assume Ford's chief design postion:
"'It often takes an outside pair of eyes to see the design culture of a country more clearly,' explains Horbury, who transformed Volvo's bricklike cars into stylish studies in Swedish design."
