Here's an execrise in logic.  If today Chevrolet introduced a new
Camaro with a vinyl top, one could rationally state that such a
car contained a styling anachronism that was more appropriate to
cars of an earlier age.  Simpy the fact that the car was introduced
in 2005 would not make that observation illogical; in fact it
would demonstrate the anachronism that the observation is
meant to reflect.  A styling faus pas does not make its
own correction non sequitir, it requires the very correction
itself.  The fact that a US government regulation lead to the
reconsideration of the design is only marginally relevant.
Could the design have been better?  Sure.  Am I an irrational
idiot for believing that the design is better than the
1950s-style dashboard that it replaced?  I'll leave that an
an exercise for the student.  :-)
