Have you seen a news story featuring concept cars of the past?

felines

Really very interesting. I was particularly struck by the fact that plexiglas was invented in the '30s. It is the component used in the windshield of Amelia Earhart's plane. On a South Pacific island they have found some that is the thickness and curvature of her windshield.
It was an Internet news story early Wednesday. I think you could look it up by googling "concept cars of the past"

The Amelia Earhart article was a week or so ago. I particularly remembered the plexiglas mention and was puzzled, because I thought it was a later development.

Answer
Which news story? I've read many old car books with the Concept cars, and yes, many had or used Plexiglas in the construction. Haven't heard any news stories on TV lately of the old show cars.

Why do US cars, now top Foreign Brands in Quality?

Q. It is now being reported that US cars, now top foreign cars in quality according to most general surveys. (see link). Question, "How do you think the US car makers managed to achieve this?" No trolls please! http://finance.yahoo.com/news/US-cars-toâ¦
It's amazing to watch people like Chris go ballistic just because someone asks a simple question that may seem to imply that Toyota has poor quality. Gee. I wonder if Chris drives a Toyota? LOL!
Here is another link to shoe US carmakers are beating Foreign cars.
http://editorial.autos.msn.com/article.aspx?cp-documentid=1149477&icid=autos_0430&GT1=22009

Answer
Well, it is a partially inapropriate question only because all cars are foreign. Every car maker makes their cars from parts from other countries, or in other countries. If Toyota makes a car in the US, is it foreign? VW's are made in Mexico. The other part of this is that the companies all own eachother. There is actually only a small handful of car companies that each make many brands of cars.

As that probably is kind of sideways (although not unimportant or untrue) to your question, I will offer this.

A lot of trends has to do with production cycles. As a company, leaders have to decide how much money to put into research and development and quality control. Each of those things cost money, which reduce profits. It is a balance act of spending enough money in those areas to keep consumers happy (but only just enough). In the 70s-2000's, US automakers had a skewed version of reality. They didn't spend too much money on those areas because they were still making killer profits. Part of the problem was the "Buy American" ideal. With people buying American even though they were increasingly crappy products, automakers had no initiative to increase quality. Why should they have, they were still making money hand over fist, and pouring money into quality would have only taken it out of their own profits and hurt them as compared to their competition that wasn't 'wasting' money on that. The problem is that it caught up with them. Late 80's early 90's fewer people felt that the motivation of "buying American" wasn't enough of a justification to keep shelling out money for unreliable undesirable cars. Increasing fuel prices (partially from the '73 oil crisis) also helped people justify making the switch. They began buying foreign more. By the time the automakers started to feel the pinch, it was becoming too late to make a quick turn around. Most cars have a multiyear development time. If you wanted to take a new direction, it can be almost a decade before those cars start making enough production to make a difference. Forward to 2010, you are starting to see that effect now. Even though trends were heading down in the 80's, US car makers were slow to make changes, let alone drastic ones, so things didn't really start to happen until much later. That said, some makers didn't even make changes as of 2010, and that is why we saw several companies close.
The reason 'Foreign' cars seem to be lagging behind is because they are at a different point in their cycle. They had made reliable cars for a long time, so they began to trim R&D and reliabilty to increase their profit margin. Now that they are starting to get bit, they will probably make a shift back (but that will take quite a few years).

So that is what you are perceiving.

Who wants to see some photos of a production Dodge Challenger?

Here are a few photos of the real deal that leaked out. I know they are real because of the rims.
I'm glad they kept it true to the concept.

Answer
I saw the concept car at Mopars at the Strip last year. The car was surrounded by people all the time, lots of positive feedback about the design.

I wonder if they'll offer them in the 70's colors, like In Violet, Panther Pink, Sublime Green. That would rock.

How and why kia cars are getting more popular by the day?

Obama Love

I see more and more kia cars on the road than ever before. They are becoming popular cars. There was news recently that kia now outsells chrysler cars. 10 years back it was unimaginable that kia can ever outsell any US automaker.

Answer
I think it just depends on where you live. I'm in the Southwest and see quite a few Chrysler 300s being driven.
