Honestly? Maybe it’s just a “fashion is cyclical” kind of thing, but I miss boxy sharp cars like that.

Late-80s BMWs were onto something.

They’re great looking imo but horribly inefficient because of the aerodynamics.

My first car was an '86 Cutlass Supreme. Watching what they did to all of the G-bodies as time went on made me really sad.

Go ahead and change it, but call it something else.

RIP Old Smobly.

I hate how rounded cars look nowadays. Let’s bring back blocky cars, please.

Cars wouldn’t be so bad looking if companies stopped trying to make EVERY car look “aggressive” or making the most godawful ugly headlight/taillight designs and hideous shapes. And with only 5 paint colours.

5? I swear I only see white, black and “silver” cars, anymore!

For real. I just want to know WTF happened to the sweet little Toyota RAV4 between 2010 and 2023. They used to be such cute happy teenage girl cars and now it’s like the grumpiest constipated swamp ogre I’ve ever seen.

Problem is iirc that the blocky aesthetic is less safe for pedestrians…

Less aerodynamic, which means less fuel efficient

I remember when the rounded Caprice came out… first saw it when our local Police got one. We couldn’t stop laughing whenever it went by because it looked like someone had an explosive fart in it with all the windows rolled up.

After awhile though it kind of grew on me… the Impala SS version was in my opinion a pretty good looking car.

Definitely love the look of a stock 95-96 Impala SS. I miss the clone I had for over a decade. Most reliable car I ever had. Will never forget how well it would cruise at 100-120 MPH for hours on end feeling like your on a cloud. They really should have put a 454 in the SS

They should put some ice on the 91 until the swelling goes down.
