Default So You Like the Tesla Design and styling?

and design. I liked it so much better that some new cars I looked into just Who
was responsible... This Pointed me right back at ....................

I didn't know he went to Tesla, that's interesting. I think their model S is a real handsome car, although that tiller thing they use for a steering wheel in the current model doesn't make sense to me. As for their other cars, their model 3 isn't too bad, but their model X and model Y are pretty lumpy looking.

I have seen a couple and I am not sure what model they were but they were ugly. It looked bloated like a too tall roof.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
