We’d never heard of the Autoline Network before stumbling across this post on Autoblog, but we were intrigued by the promise of a discussion on styling versus design. Are they one and the same, or two completely different things?
Jim Hall fronts a segment called Design Handbook and he has a crack at defining the two terms for us. Perhaps this is being too harsh, but if you’re going to discuss the differences between style and design wouldn’t it be a nice idea if you had a bit of the former and your outlet practiced the latter?
Similarly, towards the end of the clip Hall uses a couple of modern day cars to help explain his point. We were left wondering, are they the best examples he could come up with? While his first example perfectly described his point, the latter, not so much. Not to us at least.
Anyway, watch the video and let us know what you think.
