And frankly I hate that I'm arguing against the Fusion, but I feel you're tearing into the Camry because it's a Camry and that's what you're suppose to do, because you're a car enthusiast. Both the Malibu and the Impala are much more dull cars (hell, GM used the Camry as a benchmark for the 08 Malibu, and didn't beat…

Ok fine, I'll show how class uncompetetive the top-of-the-line Fusion sport was compared the 2007 Toyota Camry SE V6. (once again, motor trend numbers)

I really like it, but you make a great argument against it.

Nah, this is an improvement... it lost the fat face.

And this is the correct answer.

" Fusion has almost single handedly turned that company around. It's a blast to drive get better economy ratings than it's Toyota competition and even has a Hybrid version that is fun to drive.?"

On the questions about basing another vehicle off the viper, could the platform be modified to be AWD?

If the Dart SRT- will be awd, blink twice.

This should be fixed!

What's next for SRT after the Dart? Will we see a SRT version of the next-gen midsized sedans, something for the Ram? Possibly something off-road oriented like the Raptor?

I love this guy. Seriously makes me have more hope for humanity.

It's a pretty nonessential part of that budget though, especially since the army is trying to shrink overall.

" Senator McCollum says she was told by the Guard themselves"

Part of it was the sheer number of cars in 2010, when Ford has sold (relatively) few new Escapes. Still, I bet Ford is hoping this is the last of it, since it could really snowball if problems keep popping up.

Pshh, that cartoon looks NOTHING line Minnesota :P

Ha I tried doing a somewhat ID centric blog but it just ened up being a personal blog. http://www.core77.com/ is one of the bigger ID sites and my personal favorite. Lots of great, in-depth articles.

*yawn* that stopped being clever a long time ago.

So I'm making more as a security guard right now than I'll be making once I find an ID job? :(

The midwest (at least the Twin Cities) is full of industrial design options. If it's what you really want to do, go for it, but just be aware it's not the most profitable field.

As another industrial designer, I can answer your question. For a just a hobby, you can teach yourself a lot about industrial design. There are tons of great books, and frankly lots of it is common sense and intuition. As for the art talent; no, you don't need it, but it really helps. However, what many people don't…
