Why did Japanese cars get so ugly?

Everything got ugly after 2002-2005. Prove me wrong.

That evo looks great imo, and i'm partial to the 86 but yeah.

Probably a depressing economic outlook makes for depressing design

>>17239824
Because you can't afford them

Shit, how long did the Evo IX go for? Love that design. May be the best + most recent design in my eyes.

Before that, I was thinking Ford GT, C5, and Esprit for 2005.

>>17239824
The RX8 and the new STI are the only bad ones in your pic. They really fucked up with the STI

The Evo looks passable

The GTR not terrible ( but like a fairlady instead of a proper R )

The Miata is decent but doesnt look jdm

The fake hachiroku also looks decent but not like a proper japanese car, maybe like some plastic ford

>>17239923
Dogshit. I have no personal investment in it or its competitors, but I will never like how these look.

>>17239910
2005-2007

>>17239824
The 86 and the miat look pretty good desu.

>>17239824
but anon, all of those look fantastic. Whats the problem here?

>>17239927
Depends what types of cars you are into. Not like theres a "huge" selection.

I mean like the popular JDM cars of the 90s compared to the "JDM" cars we have today.

>>17239883
>>17239931
Okay maybe those two can arguably look good, but the rest don't.

>>17239913
Yeah I think the RX-8 is probably the worst change of design made out of the 6. They really fucked up on that one.

>>17239925
>>17239933
The GT-R looks so much fatter than the R34. Literally pigfat.

>>17239943

I'm not saying I like the new GTR, but it's passable compared to other modern dogshit (just look at Mclaren, Lamorghini, the new Ford GT etc....)

In fact the R34 already looked like a bit of a ricer already, the best was the discreet r32

All WRXs look like shit save for the bugeye

Miatas always looked like dogshit

And the hachiroku is also shit unless heavily tuned and with pop up headlights

>>17239960
>discreet r32
You mean bland.

>>17239979

I mean proper JDM that objectively looks bad but subjectively looks great

The r34 looks like fast and furious ricer shit even when stock.

My understanding is that the non-US cars still look okay, or at least not completely retarded.

>>17240051
oh god what the fuck

>>17239824
The Headlights on the Miata just look off. It looks like it's missing eyebrows or something.

Comparatively the hilux is much more basic. The problem with US cars is that they've made them too flashy and "new" looking. The hilux looks like it is from the early 2000's, which indicates that they don't believe they have to redesign it every year in order to sell more.

>>17239824
IMO everything but the subaru looks fine

Japanese are overdesigners who somehow can't design simple things anymore.
The art of design also encompasses the ability to not cram in as much as possible.

>CREASES, CREASES ON TOP OF YOUR CREASES WITH GRILLS AND ANGLES AND CREASES.

>>17239824

Only the subaru looks bad. Check your eyes.

>>17240758

And whats bad about that, you autistic child?

>>17240839
I'd rather have a hard top would be the first reason I guess

>>17239943
And the lancer. Do not tell me the previous gen lancers looked better.

All cars got ugly

>>17240763
I like the design. It's heavily bloated, but I still like it.

Evos and Stis have always looked like riced out econoboxes. The last gen Impreza and the late Lancer were probably the ugliest of the lot though, they somehow gave the impression of being korean.

>>17242595
They do.

>>17243382
They just don't. They look so bland. Evo 10 is the first and only one that had some sort of emphasis placed on design.

>>17239824
Only GTR and 86 is ugly there. However the BRZ looks great.

>>17242629
well that's obviously because there was always economy vehicles that were based off of them with each generation.

>enter the thread expecting cheeky banter and pics of marvelous beauties from 20s-70s
>it's a bunch of teenage poorfaggots trying to make themselves feel better about their generic 80s-90s shitbox trash

>>17239824
People want refinement and less IN YOUR FACE REEEEE

>>17242624
Pretty much this. Toyota is doing their futuristic look and it's working out well unlike the others.

I think Mazda designs are keeping it real but Nissan hasn't made any good designs and neither has Honda.

>>17242624
Why is there a braun shaver attached to the front?

>>17243809
Older folks do tend to mistake the brake for gas.

>>17239989
>I mean proper JDM

What the fuck does that even mean you retard?

"Proper JDM" is determined by looks?

Cars shouldn't be allowed to be as cute as the MX-5 is.

We've already got animal fuckers, we don't want car fuckers too.

Any Lexus sedan
Lancer/Evo
Accord (it's a nice looking car. Fast too if you get the v6)

Try harder

>>17245436
It's so ugly. I will never be able to understand the appeal of this design, not why Porsche seem to keep it around. They've had much better designs, yet for some retarded reason, they presist on keeping this ugly VW beetle looking piece of shit

Le tradition. They piss off their fans once every few gens (the current thing that everyone's mad about is tarbo everywhere) but if they radically changed the basic look, it may be suicidal.

>>17240096
yes you are anon. yes you are

>>17239824
I keep dreaming of a day when Nissan takes their Z series and does a throwback to the older style Z cars. Similar to what Dodge did with the Challenger. I'm not a fan of the 350/370z.

>>17246155
you're kidding, right?
