[TR] Fwd: NYTimes.com: Triumph Is Pick of Online Voters

[Spitfire4]

I think it depends on what you grew up with... I grew up with 3s and I think the 4s-6 are boxy...
I do like the wedges tho.  but I am an 80s child

Yeah, hard to believe!

But if you read the article, the author refers to the 3s as elegant but were 
replaces by boxy cars!

I have never thought that the 4, 4a, 250 or 6 were boxy at all!!! Refined 
maybe.

And the Spits, GT6s?

Just to be sure I went in the garage and took the covers off the 3 and 4.

Yes quite different but both elegant in my mind!

And they also refer to the new Triumph motorcycles as robots.

So I took the cover off my 98 T-Bird. Hmm looks like a classic to my eyes!

Well it is hovering at about 15F so I covered up the iron and went back  to 
warm up.
