The Symphony House in Philadelphia is a fairly new luxury condo building. It also happens to be hideous. This isn't stopping the developer from charging lots of money for condos (which I hope look much better on the inside than they do on the outside). It would seem that the condos aren't selling fast enough, so Dranoff (that's the developer behind the building) had a great idea: give away a Smart car with every purchase.
The thinking must be: live in an ugly building and drive an ugly car. Brilliant!
[gasp] It's the pink building! As in, the ugly one!
Seriously, I like pink quite a bit but even I have my limits.

Maybe by advertising the name of the condo on the car, someone will come by and steal the car. At least one problem would be solved, then.

agreed, the building sticks out like a sore foppish thumb.

You're right, we dont need expensive car and house, as long as you are responsible for your own life.
