Here is an interesting interview of J Mays by Re*Move.  J talks about the future of car design and the process of which it will be done.  It is an encouraging perspective and one that you can’t argue with since Ford is the only domestic OEM not being paid by the tax payers.

Re*Move – Joseph Simpson and Mark Charmer talk to J Mays – Ford’s Global Vice President of Design and Chief Creative Officer – about the Lincoln C Concept Car, design thinking at Ford and the future of car design in general.
