New shapes and sizes..!

Have been looking at ads and noticed that automobile manufacturers are trying to woo buyers by giving their cars all sorts of conceivable shapes and sizes and it was therefore a worried lot of car designers who met at the International Automobile Club last evening. They hardly touched drinks they'd ordered and barely nibbled at food heaped on their plates. "Come on folks, we've got to get out of this rut and come up with an idea for the 2007 car" said the car designer from a giant car company based in Detroit.
"Tell me," said the designer from Japan, who it was rumored was gay, "what other design can you think of then the ones already on the road. We gave cars a curved shape in the fifties, straight lines in the sixties and seventies and now they look like armored trucks, in which no friend of mine would want to be seen with me!"
"Mama Mia! If you took lady friend along she would like the macho style!" exclaimed a designer from Italy with a grin.
"Are cars designed for ladies or gents?" hissed the designer from Japan.
"Now that you ask," replied the Italian, "it's for either, but for those who are neither, we have no designs for them."
"I demand an apology!" shouted the Japanese designer. "Gentlemen! Gentlemen!" shouted a senior designer from Korea, "we have met to tackle a specific problem not to attack the gender preferences of each other. We need to think of a new design for the nest year: Any ideas?"
"Both curved and straight lines," said the designer from India. "Compromising as usual," muttered the Pakistani designer sitting across the table.
"It works," said the Indian.
"Maybe with your people but we need something more definite!"
"Are you saying my people are wishy washy?" asked the Indian threateningly.
"Gentlemen! Gentlemen!" shouted the Korean again and looked around the table, "please, please no fights, any other ideas?"
 "I have an idea," said a designer from China and everybody looked at him, especially the designer from Japan, who found him quite good looking.
"What is it?" asked the Korean.
"Turn the car around!"
"What!" shouted all the designers in the room.
"Just turn the car around!" said the Chinese again, "for years our customers have seen the top of the car, but have wondered what lies beneath; so just flip it over!"
"Brilliant!" said the Japanese car designer winking at the Chinese who winked back.
"But the underneath of a car isn't a very pretty sight," said the Korean hesitatingly and for once it seemed both the Indian and his neighbor the Pakistani designer agreed as both heads nodded in agreement.  "Was the Model T a pretty sight? Where the first cars pretty models? No they were not," said the Chinese designer warming up to his subject, "slowly the bottom of the car will become beautiful to behold."  "I agree," said the gay Japanese designer, "for too long has the bottom been ignored!"
"What does everybody say?" asked the Korean designer. "Worth a try," said the American from Detroit and everybody nodded their approval.
"So it's bottoms up this year," said the gay designer from Japan as he walked out of the meeting with his hand around the Chinese.
"He, he, he," giggled the Chinese designer, "you Japanese do have a way with words..!"
