Actually, Fenwick, I referred to the now-ancient latest redo of the Impala, with its more rectangular dual element front facia, as preferential in my opinion to the collagen-implanted lower-lip openings that have followed. A straighter lower line would give these "smaller" cars a "wider" look. After all, "bigger/wider" is always "better"...especially in small cars...
As to the "chicken or egg" theory, there are
NO "secrets" in automotive styling circles...are there?
Whoever designed the Mazda spent too much time admiring Heath Ledger/Jack Nicholson and "The Joker" from "Batman" fame...
Beyond this minor disagreement (the first, I'm sure, we've ever had...), the Cruze is a giant step forward...with aggressive pricing to match. Let's hope the Marketplace agrees...
