They looked dated before they came out!

Also, anyone knows that side load garage is superior to front load.  Who wants to see the garage as most of the facade?  Ridiculous.  Of course, most lots around here are not big enough to accommodate a side load garage, so of course people are going to say they "prefer" what is more within their reach.  [/quote]

Sorry 2/3 of America wants a front load and even a three car front load on houses starting at 1200 sf

For more than 20 years, land planners and architects have argued for side-loading garages in new home communities so that large garage doors will not dominate the streetscape. Paul Foresman of Design Basics said that his firm has found through focus group research that two-thirds of homeowners prefer the front-loading garage because they can see where they are driving and thus avoid errant toys and sports equipment, often casualties of the tight 90-degree turns required of the side loaders.

Homeowners also complained of damaging their cars — sheering off side mirrors and scraping doors and fenders — as they maneuvered their vehicles into the side-loading entry. Foresman also noted that a three-car garage is desirable for his clients, even when the house has only 1,200 or 1,300 square feet of living area.
