The director of "who killed the electric car" will be in Denton tomorrow at UNT for a panel discussion.I've been digging through more of my rat's nest ferreting out additional stuff on the EV-1 'cause I have some question for him and want to get my ducks in a row.----------- Anyway,I ran across an article about the retro Mustang that's been driving around for a few years now.The Ford stylists produced 3-versions of a "new" car and did consumer clinics for feedback.One version was very"futuristic",one was the version we now see,and one was even more primitive(no images are shown in the article).The styling chief said that consumers thought the "futuristic version" was very fine and well,but it was NOT a Mustang.He defends the choice they made as being "consumer-driven".--------------------- I think GM has taken the same path with the Camaro,eager to provide many styling cues connecting it with the past.No risk taking!
