Detroit has pumped out some of the worlds most iconic vehicles ever imagined, they were instant classics when they were new cars. (Personally I think the Mopars top that list but I am biased)
The mentality of built in obsolescence in cars from Detroit helped to build crap that was only designed to go 100K and be retired, most cars from Europe were designed to last longer and to a higher standard.
Fuel concerns have helped to destroy most designs where function has to outweigh form and most cars now a days reflect that IMO.
I miss the days of designers getting to build something for a look.
