I was speaking of cars designed in the shape like shoes. You know, every other vehicle on the road now resemble a shoe, and all of them appear to be manufactured by the same company/designers...They'll tell ya it's all about "aerodynamics" so they can save the planet. Lots of shoe cars on the roads...But don't believe me, just go look.☺

I agree with you about the boring shoe look. Front grills and, to a lesser extant, rear profiles are about the only differentiation.

I call it the Toaster Effect. Most people want a toaster. It just sits unobtrusively until it’s needed, works every time without fuss, and eventually just gets tossed out when it malfunctions seriously. No thrills or romance.

That said, we live in a golden age of cars that are fast, comfortable, safe and trouble-free.
