    There’s trying something different, and there’s just throwing shit at the design board.

    Some ideas might have been worth exploring, but that would have required an actual design team.

    I’m glad those menaces aren’t legal over here.

      It’s what happened with a boss that punishes or fires people for saying something negative to the boss. After some time the boss is surrounded by nothing but yes-men so weird and disastrous plans get implemented with thunderous applause.

      They needed designers that were well versed in the automotive field. Both with design and safety so they knew what what was smart or safe to innovate and what was better to leave alone. They also needed a CEO who didn’t have an unwarranted god complex and who didn’t have the final say on all design decisions.
