Got to disagree here. If that is the Honda Crosstour, it has one of the best butts in the market. It is the rest of the car that doesn’t work. Now let me guess, you hate the Nissan Juke? All relevant to the questions you raise, since design is what helps sell and the auto industry still doesn’t get it. Why? Steve Jobs should have headed up the auto industry. All cars now look the same, and are all grey in color. No character, no individuality, and German cars are held up to be the epitimoy of style. German cars?! Everyone’s too scared they won’t blend in.
