i mean likes 80s and early 90s car styling,im tired of everything being rounded...like old BMWs,RX-7s,C4s,Ferraris,Lambos..etc
anybody else feel sameway?
i like both.. some sharp lines i hate from back in the day. but some i like. What i do miss about the old cars is that they look alot more meaner, and more intimidating.

The MK5 Jetta/Rabbit looks like mush. But we're getting one anyway lol. :D
i do think that sharp boxy cars are coming back a little, but just with the big luxury cars. compacts are gonna get rounded off more and more. i just hope the small mini cars (fit/yaris) dont take over the compacts..than we would be left with rounded off 2dr eggs, and 5 door wagons.. :cry:

sharp lines are bleh, they are inefficient designs that are just not needed anymore. newer RX7 is better, newer civics are better then the sharp lined ones. Thats just the way it is.

May be better for aerodynamics, but I hate how they look. Just like I hate cars with fixed headlights. I love the look of pop-ups and if a car came stock with pop-ups I'd never mod it to give it fixed headlights.

I prefer the in-betweens. The model generation right after the box cars and right before the rounded ones. Better options than the box and easier maintenance than the rounded.

What years were those? I'd say about 1980-1986 was boxy cars, 1987-1993 for slightly more rounded cars, then after that much more rounded spaceship-looking cars. I like my 1988 Fiero GT, its a good blend of boxy and rounded:

i dont know about other cars but the last gen of camaro's had about the same coefficient of drag. the only difference was 0.001.
