Jay Leno and Donald Osborne are back with another episode of Assess & Caress, this time tackling the question: What truly makes a car beautiful? In “Mixed Metaphors,” Jay and Donald explore how design language, national identity, and emotional storytelling intertwine in automotive history. From Italian flair to British restraint and American confidence, the duo debates whether beauty lies in symmetry, spirit, or speed. Filmed among Jay’s legendary collection, this conversation spans decades of design—from prewar elegance to modern supercar minimalism—and offers rare insights into what defines an icon.
