Automotive trendsetter

Perfect taste define our personal attitude. Prior to any decision making on a purchase we largely consider certain aspects. Aspects which are firmly reflect our own belief, criteria and need. And gradually over the years we would find ourselves accustomed to a distinct purchasing behavior, a habit that dictates the best quality as well as beautiful products.

A good quality product might have been associated with certain regional or country basis. say; a Swiss made cheese (or watches), French wines, New Zealand dairy products, Japanese gadgetry, thrifty Chinese imports, Boeing, Rolls-Royce, IBM, polo and so forth. Yet, quality does not necessarily come with beauty. differentiating the two may resemble the way our brain functions, the left or right hand side. Creating the two factors require distinct discipline.

Italian designers are famous for their trendsetter innovations. Rome is known for the Mecca of fashionable goods, and it has been as such for decades long. similarly for automotive design, Pininfarina has designed great automobiles for well over seven decades long. The design house is now into its third generation with one of the grandson at the helm of publicly trade company.

Does anyone still remember the TV serial of magnum pi? it was played by tom imagesellect as Thomas magnum a rare detective driving fabulous 1973 red Ferrari 365 gt4 bb. What a sensational looking sport car by even today's standard. Now fast forward to 2006 Ferrari P4/5, still in the same color. A sharp contrasting element of theme spanning over 3 decades.

Does it have to be expensive to have a beautiful car design? This red 1966 imageDatsun 411 is one example. At that time Nissan formerly Datsun was unknown car manufacturing, perhaps as much as 2001 Hyundai Matrix also designed by Pininfarina. Other makers are also known to outsource its car design work to Pininfarina. They are; GM 1987 Cadillac Allanté, 1982 Rolls-Royce Camargue, 1963 Chevrolet Corvette rondine, 1961 Austin a40 farina Mk ii, Peugeot (404, 504 cabriolet, 205, 405, 306 cabriolet, 406 coupe), 1999 Mitsubishi Pajero, 2000 Daewoo tacuma and many more.

Fast lane life style does not necessarily limited the ordinary folks to own a Pininfarina designed cars, albeit fast driving on the left most lane on autobahn. There is another Italian designer who involve in auto industry but to a lesser degree; Giugiaro. Looking at their success, perhaps it would not be surprise to find ourselves wearing Gucci silk suit with matching Bally briefcase and shoes.

And for her wearing Anne Klein jeans with matching white pearl oversized sunglasses and white pearl Bally pachina tote. Perfect matching for a perfect taste in our life style episode. Hmm, those nice leather smell and equally tantalizing soft textures would attract envious look!

Perhaps you would rather think this is only suitable for "Bourgeois" class of society only, that is true. Only a fraction of the privileged could afford as such, but at least those who are not fortunate enough would still enjoy looking at the beauty of materialistic goods. For the hard life most of us suffering due to the downturn crisis, we might as well stop day dreaming. Remember the old proverb of " If You Could Dream It, You Could Achieve It"?

Go back to the beginning of this article, the first paragraph; our belief stems out of years of our own thought behaviors. We all have opportunities to access the goodness of life, we deserve perfect quality taste. Those trendsetting designers has been working effortlessly to innovate the things that we could enjoy. A trendsetter that is brave to make new things against the world out of the ordinary. Trend setter which also give a birth to people like the first black President in USA (see between the 1st and 2nd paragraph); "yes we can, yes you can!".

Life Style Trendsetter is not a myth

"So You Can"
