No problem. I would like to say though, regarding body shapes, that I asked a GM designer who has worked for everything from Opel to Cadillac, "why don't automakers use aerodynamic rear-ends on their cars?" His answer was variety. He said Cadillac didn't want to build a Prius. Sounds like an excuse to me! They made streamlining cool in the 30's and I see no reason they couldn't do the same today, but make it work.

But I digress. I wish the FC Sport styling would make it into production but almost all hope is gone. Their cars just look Korean now.
