They don't make them like they used to.

So, what's my point? I very much want a car with the "soul" of a Cobra, but the performance capabilities of the newer iron. That search first brought me to the JBL offering but I'm not sure what I think of it from an aesthetic standpoint.

Thoughts? Flames? Suggestions? I'm open to hearing them all.

Tony S,

(First let me recommend that everyone visit the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy in order that we may truly define aesthetics and the roll they play in our perceptions of certain vehicles or anything else in the area of opinions based on feelings rather then pure data.)

Aesthetic Judgment



Now, I will have to agree that aesthetics were not high on my list when I drew up the body on the JBL. I was focused on the functionality and ergonomics of the package rather then the goal of pleasing everyone's eye. (Besides, I knew that I could achieve the one goal and never the other, therefore why waste ones time and effort?)

I only really paid attention to one viewpoint in particular and I am pleased to say that I have had many positive comments based on this viewing angle.
