There are some days when you just want to look your best. It may not matter how you feel on the inside, but you want to look great to those around you. Now that my 10 year high school reunion is creeping up on me, I am beginning to know what that's like. The added weight, the laugh-lines around the eyes, and plain old age is starting to show up on this body of mine. I still have time to get in shape before it's time to face all of my old high school chums, but every passing day brings me a little closer to having to invest in that ab roller.
People often feel the same way about their cars as they do about their bodies.
As long as it looks nice they are happy and content. In recent years, manufacturers have been shying away from this approach to marketing their cars. Even Jaguar, notorious for building pretty faces around horrifying machinery, has updated their line enough to include cars that run nearly as well as they look. If you search hard enough, however, you can still come across a car or two that looks much, much better than it really is. Take the Chrysler Sebring Convertible, for example.
