pink car
My parents got a new car today - une voiture familiale they call it. Une break. Which in English translates to a station wagon (circa 1970s 1980s) or simply a wagon (1990s). Not sure what people call those things nowadays. anyway, it's not baby pink like the last peugeot they bought in 1986. actually that one was not pink but i believed them until the moment i saw the car (very gullible indeed). this one my mom says is almond green - i'll probably see it as grey, given that I am colorblind. oh good blog subject - FINALLY, i was in a drought. so yes women can be colorblind (about 8% of men and 0.4% of women have some form of color blindness). and yes i am a woman. you can take the test here (all results on one pae can be found here).

Back in the mid-90's, when I worked for one of the big three (US automakers), the big discussion was how to get people to stop calling them station wagons, because of all the baggage that term came with. For example, at the 2000 auto show in Detroit, the Toyota representative said "It's a cross between an SUV and a sports car" about their wagon, and Lexus said theirs was "not a sedan, not a wagon — something in between." In the end, they're all still station wagons to me!
