Don't forget that the MP4-30 launched with a really piss poor livery before they switched to the all black. There's hope yet!

Nothing group designed ever has as strong of an impact as a single person's vision. I've heard of that. It's why the Impreza bombed so hard initially.

Human Grand Prix posted:Like prior to the WRX Rally Car era I couldn't tell you what Subaru's image was supposed to be. There wasn't one. Subaru of Japan would just design a product with zero input from america, give it to Subaru of America and tell them to sell it. Alot of the book is executives bemoaning that they don't just focus on FWD platforms or they need a car for this or that segment. It says a lot that the SVX was very clearly designed as a luxury GT and when it came over to America it suddenly became a sports car in advertising and dealer material. I think Subaru Japan kind of poo poo themselves in the late 80s when they realized that the VER could be extended and all the other manufacturers had luxury brands and tried to push the SVX through as a contingency against that.

The SVX and to a lesser extent the XT failed because they were simply too Japanese. The Infiniti M30 is another example of a very Japanese product falling flat on its face.

I don't think there is any question why it failed, but I've always been curious about the design process. There's some really high quality bespoke items on that car and then other stuff very clearly sourced from the parts bin and there's no rhyme or reason to it.

The new BMW works cars in BTCC look nice. I was always kind of pissed they never used the M colors for their F1 cars, but it does kinda make sense to reserve that for touring car/GT racing, since it does refer to a line of road cars.

I noticed McLa -Ron has CNN on it. CNN is forever etched in my mind as the sponsor of the shittiest teams, as it was in small print on the nose of the Caterham.

I was thinking the exact same thing and even tried to make the same edit but whoever did this is much better than me with image editing. Also white is the old national car colour for Japan white makes it more of a nod to Honda.
