What does /o/ think of the future of automotive design? Minimalism

>>16844811
Everything will be hybrid and have an overly aggressive "500 hp" face. Try-hards might dig it but I'm kinda worried. Too many manchildren doing car design now

Agreed, but I'm thinking that this is the norm because no one wants to take risks and create the modern Pontiac Aztek. Expect this to continue until "startup" brands enter the scene.

I like minimalism. My favorite designs are simple and geometric.

It's why I like the 2005-2009 Mustang so much. I do like the rear of the new Mustang, but the front still seems a little too busy, even on the restyling.

same

>dude minimalism lmao
the 1920's called they want their ideology back

I dont like how cars are getting bigger and bigger. What happened to lightweight, small and fun shitboxes? Every new car I drove felt the same in a dull, non-responsive way. Also this fad for crossovers and suvs.

Regulations

Nah. Companies could make small cars meet government standards if they wanted to. The Smart Fortwo and Fiat 500 are examples. The main reason cars are growing and losing visibility is consumer demand. Most people want larger vehicles and edgy styling. Cars have looked alike every decade since they've existed, and surely regulations were much less strict back then than they are now.

that's bullshit though. Subaru has light as rufk cars for what they are yet they get 5 star crash + ratings AND have the best greenhouse in the business. the newfag edgelord designs are just obese shit. if you avoid it like Subaru does you';; have great cars again.

Yes I'm sure people love high beltlines

I hate it

>>16844811
eh. I think they're all boring. I hate how everything looks/has looked the same already, I wish automakers would go back to not just copy/pasting eachother.

It was a movement in art and music in the 20s
