“I NEED THE JACKET WITH THE BLACK SEQUINS; I’M GOING TO A FUNERAL”

I sent the following letter to AutoWeek and thought my readers would enjoy it, primarily for its employment of the latest of my many OGCRs (Old Geezer Cultural References).

Roger Hart declares in your June 7 issue that

“…the cabin (of the new Volvo S60) can best be described as understatedly elegant…”

Almost directly to the left of that statement, on page 29, is a picture of the Volvo’s interior featuring “understatedly elegant” bright orange upholstery and door panel trim.

Has Liberace emerged from the grave to find work as AutoWeek’s interior design critic?
