I'm afraid the shape and style of cars is becoming less lead by design flair, and more dictated by legislation and government decisions.

Soon all cars will be a very similar shape, you can see it happening now, it's not all the fault of uninspired designers.

There will be no more 6GC shaped cars, the nose is too sharp, the hood too low and the engine too close to the hood to pass new legislation on pedestrian impact criteria.

Sad but true.



Plus on the Headlights, i don't think they will become that small, as that will take away the 'eyes' of the car and the human brain is designed to find facial features attractive.

Cars with no headlights look 'blind' as that concept car does at the start.
