Cars today just don’t have personality.

They basically all look the friggin same today! ...except for a few comparatively minor differences in the grill and tail lights.

I got an FJ Cruiser, just to look a little different.

To get the fuel economy they need, they all need an aerodynamic body that fits 4 or 5 adults, plus meet all the current safety regulations. The design space gets small when you do that.

FedGov mandated mileage and safety regs will do that. They need extremely low drag coefficients and high crash protection, so all the makers converge on the same aerodynamic and crush-zone solution. It’s a real shame.mone more miserable effect of big brother.

However, I DO like the fact that today’s cars will frequently have driver and passenger walk away from crashes that would have killed everybody sixty years ago.
