I think it would sell like crazy–or at least like the VW bug in the 1960s. It would even become chic. (Ford basically had this idea with the Maverick, no? Just not quite cheap enough or ostentatiously frill-less enough. But it seems to be a success.) https://t.co/h9MTbDHbsi

They obviously don’t want it to turn into the Village Voice of the 1960s–I think it was the 60s, maybe the 70s–which famously became a bulletin board for writers attacking each other. But surely @nytimes editors have enough control to stop that from happening.
