Depending on the design, sometimes, a redesign just made the car worse instead of better. But I think, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The problem (in my opinion) usually presents itself when trying to fix what's not broken. If it works well, keep it up and leave it alone. Just re-produce it as it is.

Some redesigns were great. However, others were just a total flop. I think that's how it is with most kinds of vehicles.

I think redesigns are necessary as companies have to experiment on the buying preferences of consumers.

The first question is, how accurate really are consumer reports? Sometimes I'm thinking, they were just made up by corporations to lure people to buy their products..
