"I signed up specifically to write this comment. Fantastic articles Rain, I feel like you put into words many of the decisions that I make by being a designer, but currently make almost surreptitiously which leads me struggling to verbalise and articulate those decisions. Taking a step back and looking at your everyday issue but applying a design logic to it so explicitly was a real eye opener for me. I'm going to be looking for a new car early next year and will try to apply a similar process, as well as other decisions I make that are informed by design thinking, to rationalise and help look inwards at the reasoning rather than being so autonomous. Thank you Rain.P. S. I particularly enjoyed your line extension overlay on the Subaru, and found the following sentence particularly enlightening:  "This car looks, to me, like it was the subject of a rigorous design review led by a single individual with an authoritative sense of aesthetic simplicity.""
