Default Soldering irons: made in America but designed in Russia?

I thought the Miata was ugly, until I saw a PT Cruiser. ;-)


The design is reminiscent of the Chrysler Airstream, which was
a major flop 70+ years ago.


AFAIK the Airstream was not a major flop. The Airflow was, but
mostly due to really bad manufacturing defects.


I might have gotten the name wrong, as I was in a rush. Regardless, Chrysler
produced a "streamlined" car that the public didn't warm to.


Reason I mentioned it was that the Airflow doesn't look similar to the
PT Cruiser at all while the Airstream does (with the PT Cruiser being a
whole lot smaller).
