Burton Speaks

Irony: i·ro·ny n The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.

I'm Burton from Portland, Oregon, United States. I'm 33 and live in the Portland Metro Area. I work hard. I drive fast. I play often. I'm sarcastic, appreciate irony, and find humor in even the darkest of events. I'm non-traditional. I question authority. I'm a know-it-all and a planner. And most days, I wake up thinking the world is full of fundamentally good people... and have a lot of problems when I'm proven wrong. Any other questions?

Okay, this is brought to us by my dad. Ponder the following two cars. One is a Volkswagen, the other is a Buick!

As my dad pointed out, these two vehicles are strikingly similar from the back. The tail-lights and the lip on the trunk are virtually identical!

And, if you look at the C-pillar (A-pillar is the frame around the front windshied, B-pillar is the support between the front and rear doors, etc.) you'll see the shape is the same. The chrome surrounding the windows is even the same! I mean, the biggest difference is those stupid portholes on the Buick!

Of course, all pictures are taken from their respective websites without any real authorization. I'm using these images for comparison only. PLEASE don't sue me.

Anonymous said...: The Buick looks wayyyyy cooler. Far more aggressive stance. The VW looks stubby and too tall for it's thin width, like the Prius does.; 8:26 PM, April 11, 2007
