I've been seeing this new car; I don't know who makes it. It's actually less of an actual car than an infantile idea of a car rendered in steel and glass -- an oddly 1940-ish embodiment of "car-ness." There's something disturbing about its obstinate contours; it looks like what Volkswagen might be manufacturing if the Germans had won World War II: sheer automotive malevolence; a disfigured metaphor gliding past me in a blur of chrome.
