It's unfortunate because I think we need way more weird looking cars. Creative, just out there shaped vehicles of all kinds. It sucks that the company to do it was an unethical garbage fire led by a fascist. We deserve more ugly and weird heterogeneous consumer items.
I like that idea. But not from Space Karen.
Since cars are a neccessity for most buyers to move from a to b, they are optimized to use as less energy as possible for it (running costs the manufacturer can't profit from). Which lead to airstream optimized vehicles, all looking about the same.
Ironically, since they are also still a status symbol for a lot of people, they got bigger and bigger, leading to heavyweight Van's, SUVs and "trucks" being more common, using more energy/fuel than is saved with the optimized surface.
You know, like this:
Good point. Ironically there have been a lot of smaller than usual, efficient vehicles that have been banned or not sold in my country. I don't think they were weird looking, but it does go to show how the factors that go into what cars show up on roads are not always logical. I wonder if we had a more competitive market with more manufacturers if we'd have more exciting shapes or colors. Prices would probably have to come down for people to buy them though. I saw a video a while back about car paint colors having a moment with matte paint and I thought, this is cool but also stunningly boring as far as trends go.
