Why are all new cars angular and sharp. What is the reason for manufacturers not replicating a classic car, with soft edges and a vintage design?
In: Technology
They can and they do make retro styled cars. The current Dodge Challenger, the Chrysler PT Cruiser, the Chevrolet HHR, the Morgan three wheeler, pretty much every Rolls Royce. But they don’t sell very well. Only a small subset of consumers are interested in that. Personally I wouldn’t want to buy a car today that looks like my first car. The 1989 Mazda 626 doesn’t exactly ooze style.
Also some styling queues of vintage cars, like old style rounded or square headlights, may not be street legal anymore. Sharp angles are just the current trend, like they were in the 80’s. It makes the car look more “aggressive”.
