I think they sort of stopped doing that after the 700 series, which were based on the 80's, boxy look of big American cars. These days, there are all those tiny Chevrolets, and everything seems to be based on Japanese designs, now that petrol prices have risen so much. In Britain, petrol is now £1.20 GBP a gallon - you think your petrol is expensive!<br /><br />When we made the little Mini in the 60's, British Ford were making small cars with 1950's fins on them, like the Anglia and the bigger Zodiac - really bad cars. Everyone here seems to drive huge 4 wheel drives by Audi, Porsche and Nissan.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-89096986604969091712010-04-13T21:34:26.316-07:002010-04-13T21:34:26.316-07:00I'm glad you like cars, and Volvos are very co...I'm glad you like cars, and Volvos are very cool.
