I find it hard to believe that the complicated ugly of US cars is less costly to manufacture than the clean lines of a VW. I think it's far more likely that the people deciding who designs what and what designs make it to production have no taste. Ford trends better at design than the other two. Is that because they don't suffer as much extra cost, or because they're just more competent?
