Cars That Were Ruined by a Redesign: Window Shop with Car and Driver – Car and Driver

Hard-hitting, insightful and full of hyperbolic political tension, Window Shopping returns to YouTube this week with another inspiring challenge. The goal this week was to find examples of cars that, upon a redesign, practically destroyed that brand forever. Thats like, well, how the 58 Chevy was worse than the 57. Or how the 58 Thunderbird pretty much wiped away the awesome of the 57. But surprisingly, all five of this weeks august panelists picked vehicles of more recent vintage. Cars that suckedin the recent past.

Beaming in from Espaa is contributor Jonathan Ramsey whose choice hails from an entirely different hemisphere than the one hes in. Road & Tracks John Pearley Huffman hones in on a major mistake from a company that rarely makes mistakes. Senior editor Joey Capparella finds yet another silver (Actually, it's redEd.) Japanese car as his nominee. Second Sub-Assistant to the Plenary of Objective Testing K.C. Colwell picks out one of the great betrayals in the history ovals that are blue. And finally, theres our moderator, Poobah-elect Tony Quiroga who picks on a marginal car from a marginal manufacturer.

You know you have an hour to kill. So kill it with this excitingokay, exciting-ishadventure in arguing about things that dont matter. Because nihilism is a philosophical dead-end and Window Shopping is the antidote.
