Why are new cars so ugly?
>>26285576Old goodNew bad
>why are new germans cars so uglyftfy
>>26285576>not an Enthusiast Vehiclethat’s literally why.
>>26285576seethe, boomer.
Some are slowly, but surely getting better looking.>>26285576>>26285638>make EV>give it a fake grille
>>26285651>>26285640>>26285576these all are just painful to look at
>>26285576>Make ugly car>Everyone is talking about how ugly it is>Everyone is talking about it >Free advertising to fuck>Sales increase>Make uglier car for more free advertising BMW has literally admitted this to be their design philosophy
>>26285656ok
>>26285658I believe it, but do you have any source for your claims?

>>26285658>>26285679>attention whores with too much money (read: debt) will buy the the most gaudy, obscene crap to stand out no matter the price.I mean this has been the case with music and fashion for over 25 years, how are cars any different? As long as it makes you look rich.
>>26285576gynocentrism
If the gooks keep it up they might have the best looking cars in the market by far.
>>26285638>all white
>>26285658This was basically Cadillac’s strategy when the Art and Science language came into being. Most focus groups they tested were always nearly 50/50 love/hate with very little in between, and that despite nearly half the people hating it they still came out ahead with people who strongly connected with the look. That being said, I’m probably one of the few people here that likes BMW’s new design direction, and thought they have been pretty boring from 2006 onward. Big sniffers have precedent in their history.
>>26285638look at those fucking panel gaps lmao
>>26285638Even a glossy shot like this can't hide the gap sizes. If i were this trash-tier quality shitbox i'll happily light myself on fire.
>>26285673this looks like a civic
*chef's kiss*
>>26285638The endgame for enthusiast vehicles called Opel Corsa.
>>26285576>Why are new cars so ugly?Zoomers did the actual design work
>>26286076>paying so much to be beaten by some old Civic and a Corsa.Are other manufacturers even trying?
>>26286004
>>26285638Looks like a fucking soulless apple product
>>26285753ID on beige car, back left pls
>>26285576Me a-Chinese, me rike BIG grill.Big grill means a-big money so I can show off wealth and a-get the female pussay.>Buys 500,000 models.
>>26285673But 508 is going to be killed soon, just like they did my poor boy arteon.
>>26285677I cannot unsee this.
I hate how every EV has to have some futuristic touch on it because the designer was a hack. Sharp lines, high contrast details etc
>>26285638what an unfortunate angle that shows just how bloated the side windows look
>>26287398>OH NO! I CANNOT AFFERD CAR AS SOCIAR CREDIT SCORR NOT GOOD AS DIDN'T BUY WORK BOOTS LAS WEEKUH. BAD SCORE MEAN NO CREDIT FOR FINANSHURR OPSHUN NOW HAVE TO BUY THE GUANGSHOU HAPPY PEENEE V3 BOOTLEG CAR LOOK JUST LIKE BEEM DABBLE YEW.>STUPID AMELICANS
>>26287464kek
>>26285576Chinks
>>26287464maybe that's why the chinks love that shit so much>it rook-a just rike me!!
>>26286394it looks soulfull for an ev so you have thatlike you CAN design a beautiful ev but then the sound will disappoint more
>>26286399MGA
>>26286102The oldest Zoomers are 26, there's no way they're executive designers.
Silent Generation made the best car designs and they have been retired/dead for a while now. The show is run by literal soibois now. Also, cars not designed for the euromarket as priority now since that isn't where the money is anymore.
>>26288565MAKE GREAT AGAIN
>>26287967looks like a fucking egg
>>26287468Still bloated like all modern cars, but at least its a clean design.
>>26285726what does the N stand for
>>26285576It's what China demands.
>>26286004>hits pothole >hits speedbump >hits curb>touches snow/iceYeah it's an ev with an okay-ish range (on paper) but it ain't what I call a daily driver
>>26285576merc eqfag car are ugly and bloated with curvy lines to stretch the EV range to the highest possible number.they sacrificed design for EV range since consumers cannot think of anything else other than screens and range
>>26286004Let me know when they start delivering them to customers
>>26286004Aptera is an extreme example, but I'm actually looking forward to the trend of modern Super Aero cars.So many cars today are just too visually busy with fake aero features instead of having true clean simple aero.
>>26285638where's the manual transmission
>>26285638
>>26292664Same, Tbh.
>>26292678It doesn't need one because the motors can spin up to 20,000 RPM.
>>26292386>Screen where the airbag would beI wonder if this would actually be possible and still have an airbag. Would it go through the screen or would it come out of the dash and overlap the steering wheel?
>>26292664this actually doesn't look horriblethey kept it simple, at least
>>26290959That's what the little plastic parts are for.
I miss 2000s car designs where everything didn't have to look overly ANGERY
>>26293399don't care, not fun
>>26293440>Having arbitrary limits, less response, and delays is fun???
>>26288623> The oldest Zoomers are 26, there's no way they're executive designers.This.It’s the fuckwit milennials who always ruin it for everyone
>>26293469Yes
>>26286394That's basically what it is, just a product to consoom and toss away in a few years for the next version
>>26293925Doesn't sound like much fun. It's like someone saying an HDD is more fun because of the noises and mechanical enjoyment over an SSD.
>>26293399i can neither feel nor hear it>into the trash it goes
>>26293415>I miss 2000s car designsits the 80s/90s for me
>>26293932Except EVs last longer than ICEVs.
>>26294176Except you will pay $ 26,000 every 10 years for a new battery.
>>26285677Honestly the sides make it even more disgusting. You got this super pissed off looking front with all sorts of edgy shit on it and then the side of the car is a fucking blob. No consistent design language on the fucking thing.
>>26285651Why the fuck do you like this? It's so fucking bad.>>26285673Too bad it's a Peugeot.
>>26293469>>26293963as it turns out, driving on space savers can be insanely fun, even with a 400 hp+ vehiclehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPh90yNX-mY
>>26294191Battery failures are extremely rare. On average, EVs last longer, need less maintenance, and cost less to run versus an ICEV.
>>26285753I love the 328
>>26293963manuals are fun just go drive one fucking hell
>>26285726No - they are the most gaudy brand on the market. Notice how each older gen looks so fucking out of date? It’s fucking meme tier
>>26288658NOW
>>26294294EV do not pay taxes and are reduced in price due to subsidies and tax cuts. EV are a lot more expensive and battery failure is only a matter of time as with all batteries.
>>26294176>>26294294Nice mental gymnastics you got thereThere's ICEVs currently running fine that were made before any mass produced EVs even existed
>>26285576honestly not allits just merc and bimmers getting fuckuglymost jap cars (that isn't yota) still looks decent
>>26293932The funny thing about this image being used against Tesla is that Windows is a closed source OS, if Microsoft decides to break something, or drop support for something you have zero recourse.GNU/Linux on the other hand is open source, and available for people to fix themselves if something goes wrong, and nothing can ever really be dropped as long as somebody is interested in maintaining it.Tesla cars run GNU/Linux. Third-party controller hardware for them already exists, people repair them, or use Tesla parts to build their own EVs. Tesla's cars are great.Its the charging network that's the problem.

>>26294176Meanwhile as you wrote this there are 100 year old Ford model T s on their second or 3rd engine still rolling around. You can barely go 3 years without your vehicle catching on fire.
>>26296123the funny thing about your post is that it hardly matters what OS your shitmobile runs, your mechanic still won't know what to do with it, the manufacturer/government can still remotely disable it and it can still shit itself due to glitches from badly written software.
>>26296123If you ran windows on a car the blue screen of death would be an actual screen of death.As it would be the last thing you see as your kernel panicking car sails of I-95 to an hero.If self driving ever gets sorted out, I’d expect the center of consumer electronics to immediately shift to the inside of cars.I’d expect the normalfag fanfare to be something like this:>hooray, I can text on my phone the whole drive now!>Oh wait, I can use my laptop full time as well…>Oh wait, I can run a whole desktop in here…It will pretty much come down to a battle between Apple, Microsoft, The Carmakers themselves, and Linux as to who will be the victor of this new ecosystem.I’d prefer that Linuxchads won it out, but FAGMAN really does know how to cast a spell on normalnigs, so idk bros.I just think it would be a hilarious monkey’s paw if the most popular Linux desktop distribution ever, ended up being… Tesla OS.
>>26294543Instant power is more fun.
>>26294959ICEVs that last longer than EVs are the exception, not the rule. On average, EVs last longer.
>>26296142See>>26296353
>>26296338It gets old quick
>>26296440It really doesn't.
>>26296360Citation needed. It's literally theoretical because electric vehicles are still in infancy
>>26296458Yes it does
>>26296353>>26296360EV appliances last 10 years on average.
>>26287398How many bmws are we gonna see in liveleak videos now?
