What is up with the late 60s-early 2000 period and it's fascination with squares?!Square cars,square computers,square houses,square gaming consoles.It's especially bizarre since it's the height of space race,you would imagine they would try to mimic aerodynamic shapes of rockets and satellites,but no-squares!

Fabrication of curved panels be it metal or plastic had an ever increasing production cost until manufacturing techniques and alternate material use caught up.

I wonder who could be behind it all...

This is exactly why they wasted so much metal and plastic to make cars in 50-70-s.

And those cars were made almost entirely out of steel with big V8s. 80's had the oil crisis which drove manufacturers towards aluminum which was very tricky to shape with the crude stamping machines used for steel. I'd bet commodity prices played a role as well if you refer to the steel price chart. Curves add surface area = more steel used.

Hope this helps.

Fuck off, the mid 90's produced some of the most beautiful curved cars of all time.

Blame wind tunnels and fuel efficiency standards. Dull curved cars are standard so everything looks the same.
