    Remember when thought was given to the beauty of the design of cars (like above), and nowadays we have the mutant electric shaver that is Teslas?

      No, by the time I was born beauty was secondary to aerodynamics. It was the right decision, but I do understand what we lost is something to be sad we’ve lost.

      With teslas my bigger issue is build quality. Though the dumpster they sell is ironically one of the few deviations from the modern prioritization of aerodynamics over aesthetics, it’s just done by someone who doesn’t understand good taste. Compare it to those Honda EVs to see a similar idea done much more beautifully.

      The cyber truck is disgusting. It’s what happens when you give billionaires all the decision making authority. It seriously looks similar to a dumpster.

      I dunno. I recently saw the new Twingo and it’s a very nice and cute looking car. Their 2025 hatchback was also very cool and futuristic looking.
