Intelligent Design
Discussion
Stopped alongside a Peugeot 1007 in traffic complete with sliding door and full length sunroof; it set me thinking... what car offers intelligent design?
The Vauxhall Zafira complete with a seven seat modules which is perfect for the UK both in terms of functionality and literage without the baggage of hefty four wheel drive.
What about the Citroen Berlingo with wash through flooring and sliding doors enabling the kids, shopping, dogs and Tesco’s to be thrown in without endangering hernia or slipped discs never mind suicidal speeding motorists outside the school gates.
The 2CV, alas whilst having the embodiment of minimalism, has no presence on today road stage, but what about the thought that the old A35 or Standard 10 Countryman had greater integrity of design in terms of fit for purpose than today’s bloated “minis” (he say’s having spent his childhood in the back of a Jag Mk10! Lol!)
The Lotus Elise merits a ten on my scale as in fit for purpose as indeed does another Peugeot, the 307 Wagon.
Well dampened sunglasses holder dropping from the headlining is of course great design and a great marketer “surprise and delight” as indeed is teflon coated umbrella hidden within a suicide door but of what relevance to the rest of us “Joe Public”? I guess the TDI would warrant acclaim as its impact literally affects the back pocket- read wallet.
I’m still musing and throwing this around as I’m writing, so what do you think? - What constitutes intelligent design?

The climate control fan on my Lexus doesn't start blowing until the engine is sufficiently warm to blow warm air. Of course, if you want cold it's on straight away.
Also, if the headlights are on in daylight the dash lights remain brighter than normal, dimming when in shadows or tunnels.
There is so much more but I'm tired....it was made in 1997.
