There are many reasons to consider the dynamics of triaxial galaxies. Elliptical galaxies are not rotationally flattened (Illingworth, this conference) and their isophotal profiles are often twisted. N-body simulations of collapse have produced a number of final state figures which are triaxial. Even those still skeptical will have to grant that barred spirals (a category which seems to include the Galaxy) are certainly not axisymmetric.
