Bittersweet


The return of Bitter cars in 2007 – a series of German sports/luxury coupes and sedans made in the 70’s and 80’s – was bittersweet. It was sweet because a brand I liked was returning, but bitter because the new car called the Vero was a warmed over Holden Caprice that was beaten with an ugly stick. Actually, reviving a brand to destroy it isn’t very sweet, come to think of it. Bittersour might be more appropriate.
