And yes, nothing gets me more weak in the knees than a nice Wedge design. Thanks for including a pic of that Giuguaro (sp?) masterpiece that is the Lotus 300 Esprit V8.
It is sad that when considering the Wedge designed cars, that their reliability has been inversely proportional to their aesthetics.

- current Audi headlamp GlitterLid fixation
- BMW Angel Eye headlamp
- trunk exterior-mounted spare tires designed after 1970 ('cept you, Morgan). That means you, Cadillac & Granada pimpers!
- 'Macho' body cladding
- Fake plastic venting (I'm looking at you, Pontiac!)

Or, indeed, vertically paired headlamps. I'm thinking Mercedes, but aren't loads of 60's Pontiacs that wear that look particularly well?
Oh, oh - Citroen DS swivel steer headlamps.
Do pop-up headlamps count as a 'design element'?
