I suspect that, should HOLLYWOOD release some blockbuster motion pictures, or television series with top-tier actor heroes driving low-drag specials, the 14-year-old aeroheads of the world and maybe their dads would want to be seen in one, just like I responded to Sean Connery and his Aston Martin, or, Steve McQueen's Bullit, Burt Reynolds' Smoky and the Bandit, Lee Majors' The Fall Guy, Dukes of Hazzard, Grand Prix, Batman, Route 66, Rockford Files, Night Rider, Fast and the Furious,...................
It would be an interesting sociological experiment.
It would give drivers 'permission' to explore the ramifications of 'shape.'
