The rounded shapes are a fashion and all the manufacturers have followed it, imitating the benchmarks and market leaders. They say it’s due to aerodynamics and fuel efficiency requirements, but aerodynamic efficiency does not necessarily dictate a jellybean, look at the stealth fighters. Quite aerodynamic, quite angular. Somebody will be daring and break the mold eventually, and if they’re rewarded with a big sales increase, then the cycle will repeat itself anew, with benchmarking and imitation to the point that you’re sick of angularity and want to see something more flowing and rounded. The days of being able to remain both distinctive and successful went away when so many foreign entrants came into the US market. They’re all jostling for position and no competitive advantage will be allowed to remain a brand specific thing.
Tessa’s are a dime a dozen here in Walnut Creek, CA. I like the new Mercedes, BMWs but also miss the early 1960s muscle cars and land yachts
