I'd call that Historical rather than Political but let's just be careful.
Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder and I'd rather look at a DAC90 than that Tesla. I think I JUST prefer the VHF90 or '70 in the looks department and having VHF means they are more useful too.
I had a visit from a friend last week, who's in her mid-sixties, who said how nice some of my radios which are on shelves looked: "Especially that brown one." The R33 is maroon and the Little Maestro grey and white so I think you can guess what she was looking at.
As for superiority of foreign sets, my Philips went bang last night.
