Design is dead.

[ItsPeople]

Not only that but even models of the same manufacture are using one design language.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell a 5 series from a 3 for example.

Back in the early 2000s a m5 looked nothing like a M3.

Have you noticed the equivalent upsurge in terms of humans as well:

The future will be quite generic in that respect once they breed and regulate the chaos into an order as they see it. You're also seeing the same in music as the whole world is riding Drills tip (pause) and the same with entertainment. Just goes to show how a handful can influence the world but if you point this then you're a tinfoil head...

Pic is a dramatic example but there is ultimately one "perfect form" and everyone wants to be it. Well that is if they're not walking around looking like they may crap themselves at any moment after a buttlift.

A lot of this is due to legal regs that say the bumper must be this high and the door this wide etc... the rest is due to shared engineering due to cheaper R&D via using parts from a bank instead of having to get it quality tested dolo and there is more than a sprinkle of laziness involved.

We are, collectively, headed toward this:



And whats telling about the above is they edited that synchronized blinking clip from reruns as its so obvious its happening...

Some of them are legit that same vehicle just with different logos, Like the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon are literally made by the same manufacturer just sold under two different names.

The new model Corvette was definitely designed well. Chevy did they thing

This. They took the jump and went mid-engine with door scoops. I miss the 80s and 90s stylings of midengines like the MR2 and Porsche 911.

IT'S THE PRODUCT OF ENGINEERING. ONCE YOU FIND THE MOST EFFICIENT DESIGN, NOT MUCH IMPROVEMENT WILL HAPPEN FROM THERE.

This!

When you have safety, mpg, etc, metrics you need to hit then certain shapes and curves will be more efficient than others.

Yep. You see this happen a lot in the fragrance world where this kind of stuff is even more rampant as you'll have five scents using exactly the same base but with different top notes and whatnot at various price points using other logos with different names attached.

Its quite crazy when you think about it but then people are stupid and very easily influenced. Its becoming more and more obvious in music as well as that is all AI designed using a template these days as well and has been since they started refining the formula in the 80s.

and yet if you just showed the hood with the logo they would all be treated differently

Here OP, I gotchu if those too boring

 

[Adeptus Astartes]

Safety regulations
Emissions regulations
Good engineering
Customer feedback
Sales figures

All lead to some degree of stagnation of design and function, but there are a hindred subtle differences. I can still tell a make and model of most cars at a glance.

good taste is a rare quality & most can't afford to have it anyway ha*

The electric cars will be worse. Chevy is putting out Asian vehicles now.


It probably has something to do with the supply chain and most of the parts coming from the same places.
