I personally hate the "angry headlights" thing although it's appropriately representative of today's values. People today are rude, obnoxious, obsessed with their pseudo-tough-guy images and generally are obsessed with looking "badass" even if they're not. Everyone and their brother is a pierced, tatted-up wanna-be tough guy with a faux attitude. People buy pit bulls as accessories for this fashion and throw around expletives and tough-talk in conversation routinely to complete this image.

As we hurtle towards the world depicted in Idiocracy, it was only inevitable that this kind of angst-filled, faux tough-guy "attitude" be sculpted onto the vehicles of the faux tough-guy motoring public. It fits, even if only a zeitgeist trend.

All the more reason I like my 944s (no "face" anthropomorphized onto my car) and my 911 (smiley just to mock the faux tough guy idiots).

But to each their own.
