So true so true! My suggestion; change the words in the "news box" on the top left.

That sounds like a coffee commercial or something..  "mr del monte says yes"  :D

IMO the text in the top corner box should be replaced with these two words:
fricken relax

Americans would argue about that.  They'd say he was famous American architect :)
Sorry to go a little off topic, but I am an architect and these basic cal-look rules got me into it for real because they are present not only in my hobby, but first in my professional life.
K.I.S.S. Hell yeah! :)

But American? Only decent American architect ever was Frank Lloyd Wright. ;D

Well, he moved to US in 1937, coz Nazis weren't interested (to say the least) in that kind of architecture. Since then he designed a lot of famous buildings in US (including Illinois Institute of Technology and 860-880 Lake shore Drive Appartments in Chicago, Seagram Buliding in NYC...
In 1944 he bacame American citizen. He was awarded with Presidential Medal of Freedom by JFK in 1963 :)

Maybe it's offtopic, but that question is almost obvious to me...

When I first heard about these rules concerning the VW world, I thought it was very connected with architecture. Is there any real link? I mean is it possible, that a person who adopted these rules to VWs was in any way connected with architecture?
