Make the Homer car you cowards
cars should be legally required to be fuck-ugly so people are less keen to buy them
Under Communism, every driver will be forced to own a Fiat Multipla.
That is absolutely hideous wtf.
It almost makes me appreciate the current breed of bland, uninspiring crossover SUVs. At least gray, amorphous blobs don't look actively repulsive.
Don't threaten me with a good time
I feel like people will still find a way to love them. Or they'd blame the woke agenda for making them ugly. But seriously, look at all the fucking ugly ass land yatchs on the road. We need to go back to the 90s with soft curves so that all the manly men get mad at how soft trucks/SUVs have gotten.
Most cars are hideous AF and people still love them, or at the very least cannot imagine a world without them.
Pre-radicalization me had a business idea that was just gas stations but for EVs. It was all well-intentioned, but it was proof even I couldn't imagine the reduced omnipresence of the automobile. Unfortunately as leftists we tend not be good salesmen, so many people subconsciously DO prefer walkable cities even if they aren't aware they are. To Americans, walkability is je ne sais quoi they like about European and Asian cities, but will short-circuit when you're told its because cars are not a priority. To them, it's alien. I'm not saying this to bash on them, since I was in this group before but moreso point out that Americans and Canadians might be more open to this than one may think, here's a study showing that Americans generally prefer walkable cities.
Cars should be legally required to look cool but only the state owned taxi company can buy them
We just discovered the most optimal shape for cars. It's not surprising everything looks similar.
Anyway death to cars, unlimited car-icide on cars.
It's going to get worse.
I really like this mock up but the Chevy PedestrianKiller will clearly come out ~2030 and not 2070. By 2070 APCs will have street legal versions.
Modern cars mostly (disregarding) look the same because they're made to be safer and have crumple zones, right?
It's actually more for aerodynamics and efficiency. This is why all cars have started to look really similar. The best shape for a car won't change because physics so there's not a lot of room for artistic flair.
It's really funny they care about aerodynamics so much because the mileage on some of these cars is just truly awful. We could have cool looking cars that aren't aerodynamic but they wouldn't be as good at crushing pavement and plowing children..
they don't really care that much, just enough to hit the legal bare minimum to keep making bigger SUVs than last year. If they actually cared about efficiency we'd all be driving these.
I think a more realistic idea of what everyone would be driving if everyone actually cared about maximum efficiency would be the 1st generation Honda Insight, a car famous in the hypermiling community for its efficiency.
I disagree that aerodynamics optimization is the reason that a lot of cars have started to look for the same. Here are 3 highly aerodynamic cars that have been explicitly optimized for aerodynamics, each with their own unique flair:
1st generation Honda Insight
1st generation Tesla Model 3
5th generation Toyota Prius
It's impossible to confuse one of these cars for each other. Automakers absolutely can make gorgeous and distinct looking cars without compromising aerodynamics, they simply choose not to.

You say that but my partner seems to be entirely incapable of telling the difference, even here. All cars are just "an car" to her. Kind of awesome in a strange way. It's like vehicular face-blindness.
I started training my wife so she could recognize cop cars sooner. My weaponized autism is literally noticing a cop car from a blurry vibe 2 miles down the highway.
SAFETY IS BORING
On a more serious note, they could at least give them interesting patterns or something, right?

More like Dirt_Owlon, amirite?

I feel like they try this for rich people cars, but I hate them 90+% of the time lol
That's because rich people have no imagination and can't art to save themselves.

Manufacturers can offer all the options and decorations they want but as long as most people are slaves to resale value, most cars will be boring and inoffensive. It's much easier to find a buyer for a black or white car than it is for a pink car.
thicc A-pillars and that ugly ass slope up the bottom of the window line from front to the back so you can't see shit are supposedly safety features, yeah.
I just want my little apple car so I can drive to worm in peace
If they are at least cheap and reliable then it's at least acceptable. However, besides from boring and fugly these new monstrosity are also chocked full of proprietary parts and software that are impossible to fix and is a privacy nightmare.
The best part of Cyberpunk 2077 is that every car is ugly and useless. Just a completely accurate prediction of the future.
The bikes are aesthetic af tho
I just like a boring and simple Honda or Corolla. Granted, I spent enough time looking cool biking up to 4 hours a day cause my mountain bike was more reliable around suburbs and country roads than the buses.

I agree with both you and op.
There are some cool cars still. They’re just very expensive.
Though, the Honda E is relatively affordable
That Lexus landrover lookin thing belongs in the trash
They're also fuckin stupidly designed.
Hey engineers, hey dipshits, why the fuck aren't headlight covers just designed to like, pop open from the front? My brother just had to change his headlights and it involved taking a bunch of screws off so that he could pop off the back of the wheel well and then get into the headlight casing from behind and it was a massive pain in the ass. Every fucking component on every car is blocked off by layers of unnecessary bullshit
Because then you don't learn how to/can't do basic maintenance on your car and have to take it to a dealership for every oil change, which dumps several hundred/thousand more dollars into their pockets over the lifetime of the car.
We had the Dome Zero in the 70s, then cowards didn't make cars look like that
Being hit from behind by this on my bicycle and simply getting scooped up, rolling over the top and then drop off the back unharmed and upright, albeit entirely confused
Draw your ideal transport vehicle (honestly can be whatever, doesn't have to be a car)
