Today's automobile design
I have always blamed much of the designs we see on the marketing depts of car manf'rs. From the fins of the 50's to the fish mouth of today, these folks do their best to outdo each other while not progressing style wise. They just don't want to get too far ahead of the pack.
While the styles of the 80's might look like heavy metal boxes in retrospect, I wonder if the angry eyes, wide mouth frown of the first years of the millennium won't look as silly as fins 20 years from now.
As an exercise, find a car that does not have this shape somewhere if not everywhere:
