Pininfarina, cars & more cars in Australia

I'd thought I'd never come around to appreciating the beauty of cars, but Pininfarina has definitely changed my mind. After being featured on luxuryculture.com, I had just realised the plainness & bland nature of Australian cars, so my question to ask is, how can Australian cars compare to the beauty of other (i.e. Italian) cars??? I mean, how could the Toyota Camry or Ford Focus compare to the cars below? The interiors here are rather...plain & are quite uniform throughout the country. However, if you travel overseas, cars are much more beautiful inside and out, so my question is, what is our country doing with our cars? - If they're not aesthetically that special nor functional - what are they?



Pininfarina has definitely changed my view on how cars are designed...maybe not just how they are designed, but how they infuse both functional and aesthetic qualities to produce amazing machines. One of my favourite vehicles by far is Pininfarina's Maserati Birdcage 75th...Just look below:
Haha, I guess I'll just have to wait until I can afford one.

In reference to your question I can tell you what they're NOT doing... making them well. Who owns a pimped out Holden ute and actually uses the ute part of the car?
