Re: [neo-Scirocco] Any Photo Artists out there?
Yeah, I sure do miss the 80's. Listen, though--I don't want you
to think I didn't appreciate what you had done--it just got me
thinking about what would have happened to the Scirocco if still
in production. I do give credit to VW for holding out at least a
little bit in their design evolution. Look at the Jetta, which
until this year or last still held the boxy sharp lines in its
style and you can still see some of that. I sometimes am dismayed
when a car company has come up with a really "classic" design, one
that is like no other and has an enduring sense of identity, and
then all of sudden completely scraps it. I guess they think
everyone wants something new all the time. Not true. I think
back to the T-bird. What a hodge-podge of identities! In the
80's I felt they had come up with a beautiful flowing
design--ahead of its time--but then after a successful run of
sales, they scrapped it for a boxier shape. I suspect they don't
sell as many now.
Say, how do like photoshop? I'd really like to get some better
graphics software, but not sure which. Some have suggested
Coreldraw, but couldn't tell me what made it better.

support!

/impossible/.
