Call them "echo boomers," "Generation Y" or "millennials," I'm one of the millions born between 1982 and 1995 but still dont understand the appeal of unremarkable added equipment, nor does special edition white and black metallic paint pull at my heartstrings. Is it just me, or is the boomer generation defining my taste? Special edition Kia"s are interesting visually but are quickly becoming as basic and ordinary as vanilla.
