Using food metaphors in car descriptions...

Now I've tried to describe a lot of vehicles to friends over the years, but I don't think that I've ever used a food metaphor to describe a vehicle.  Well, John Huffman at the New York Times is comparing the 2011 Hyundai Sonata with a crunchy taco in his article titled, "Crowd-Pleasing Composition in 3 Movements".
What makes a great taco is its shell. If the shell is fresh, crisp and robust, it doesn’t get soggy quickly or crack and crumble, and the flavor of what’s inside will shine. Chicken, steak or pork carnitas, it’s all tastier when served in a perfectly fried corn tortilla taco shell. <read entire article here>
