    Can we talk about how fucking boring modern car design is?

    Back in ol' days they'd make cars with 3 wheels and shit

    Now every car looks the same.

    Imagine spending a millions dollars on a porche that looks exactly the same as every other car lmao

            Damn. I'm pretty good at identifying cars but for some reason all laid out like that, even with the names, yeah I couldn't tell you which was which without those labels.

              I think it'd be a lot easier if we had front/rear images, since a lot of marques have distinctive lights and/or fascia. I also wonder how much the similar profiles is a result of convergence due to aerodynamic and safety considerations

      This is what happens when you plan your entire...well, globe, at this point, around everyone using the dumbest form of transportation imaginable right after aircraft for everybody. They all get sort of a grey mush because regulators step in to demand to make the car less dangerous for the people inside since they can't stop themselves from wrapping it around a tree.

      This thing in a 10mph collisison? Dead. You're just dead. And societally, this would be fine, because ehhh look Darren the rich car weirdo died doing what he loved, shame about it.

      If you want more interesting cars again you need to be full on war on cars. Until it stops being the main mode of transportation you will get the grey mush car. Don't believe me? The Netherlands is pretty much first on not using a car for everything as far as industrialized nations go and what do they produce as per cars? The Donkervoort D8 GTO and the Waajenberg Canta
