“We deal with design—an intangible and emotional subject,” Jordan said in an interview with Automotive News at the time of his retirement in 1992. “There are no rules or steps to success. It’s a matter of opinion. This isn’t research or engineering with computer programs and hard data.
“Words may not communicate it exactly,” he continued in the Automotive News interview. “You gotta see it and feel it. We deal with an emotion.”

Concepts modern car designers have lost touch with. All they know how to design now are jellybeans and boxes on wheels.
Very little made today actually has a personality or sparks emotion when you look at it. Everything is designed in a wind tunnel today. Yuk.
