You can only do so much to a design that has been refined for the past century and a half. Just being able to keep the car for the next hundred years will be hard enough

True, especially when you are considering aerodynamics.

they try and attain similar looks accross ranges for brand familiarity and then retain old designs for legacy purposes... sometimes its tastefull.... then u think of porsche LoL

I think if we can make carbon fibre panels cheaper in the next 10 years we will see some interesting designs. A lot of it used to be manufacturing limitations but generally steel and aluminium has been mastered now so we can have all these sharp creases and shapes. If we move to more carbon fibre then it'll allow different things again

The new Beetle is awful, the bonnet is squared, it's completely lost it. But it has done so for a very common reason. Shared base, it's skin being stretched over a Golf, octavia, TT, Jetta, etc etc. The Lambo being an R8 in drag shows it's not just the High Street stuff. So much criteria, from passenger space to making cars cheap to repair for insurance reasons, cheap to build for all the technology they're forced to be equipped with these days.

All the basic experimenting that saw countless very different ways of building cars, all gone because the homework has been done. It doesn't make sense to put a straight four in the boot. So it's done no more. So cars are engineered all the same and marketing turns to fashion, using little things to set their cars apart.

Styling similarity has always had the same problem. 90s cars looked the same, for example. Take the 80s and look at the front of an '82 Escort, Astra, Jetta, Alfasud. They all influence eachother and tastes roll with fashion trends. My problem with today's cars is the kitchen appliance mentality. The car is no longer the star. We're not allowed to love our cars anymore. They're soulless and engineered to be. They don't want us to get attached to them. Or even own them - just twist'n'go.

Just face it, aerodynamic efficiency means that sooner or later all cars will look the same.
