A look into the art and science of vehicular design; all the ins and outs of building cars, trucks, motorcycles and more.
Why the Volkswagen Thing Flopped in the U.S. Market
Yeah, I can see why. If I were American and saw the Thing, I probably wouldn’t have given it a second look. It was ugly, didn’t really fit on American roads, and from what I know, it didn’t meet some U.S. safety regulations—so it flopped and got discontinued. The Beetle and VW Bus did better because their designs were more universally accepted.

If Ferrari Goes Bankrupt, Will Car Prices Soar or Crash?
It depends on how Ferrari does in the future—if demand stays high, the price will go up. The thing is, we don’t really know what would happen if Ferrari went bankrupt or what the demand for their cars would look like. But honestly, I think Ferrari would still be Ferrari. It’s a pretty iconic supercar brand, so even if they go under, there’d probably still be strong demand for their cars. In fact, I’d guess the prices would actually go up—once the factory’s gone, you can’t just order a new one anymore.

Why the Chevy Vega and Ford Pinto Failed in the U.S. Market
As far as I know, the Ford Pinto was actually pretty popular when it first came out. It was even the best-selling car in the U.S. in 1974, with over 540,000 units sold. The Chevy Vega wasn’t too far behind either, selling over 460,000. These cars got decent fuel economy (at the time) and handled better at high speeds than most of the economy imports back then, so a lot of people used them. And hey, at least they were American-made—people were pretty patriotic in those days.

The Prius Puzzle: Why No Other Hybrid Has Matched Toyota’s Success
Actually, Toyota was pretty bold when they came out with the Prius. Back then, most people didn’t really understand what a hybrid engine even was, let alone believe in it. So yeah, you could say Toyota was a pioneer—but more than that, they were the ones who kicked it off. Because they started early, they were better prepared and slowly earned the public’s trust. Other manufacturers were still hesitant to jump on the hybrid train, and honestly, I get why. A couple of decades ago, hybrids still felt kind of futuristic or overly complex, so it makes sense that some companies weren’t ready to take that leap. But Toyota took the risk anyway.

What Went Wrong with the Toyota FJ Cruiser?
Not everyone’s into classic design. From what I know, Toyota made the FJ Cruiser to bring back the spirit of the old Land Cruiser FJ but with a modern twist—and it seems like not everyone was a fan. Back in the early 2000s, there were a lot of modern-retro cars, but it was kind of a niche thing. Plus, the FJ Cruiser wasn’t exactly cheap, and in some ways, it wasn’t much different from other Land Cruisers, which were arguably better—or at least had more universally accepted designs. I guess the retro look just isn’t for everyone.
