Everything has already been there
02/23/2019
One criticism we hear time and again is that modern cars look more and more alike. In fact, you can get this idea if you compare the front or rear sections of different vehicles (e.g. Alfa Romeo Giulia and Mercedes-Benz CLS, as in the picture above).
But this is not a new trend. Cars already looked more similar in the 1930s and it was no better in the form-rich 1960s and 1970s. Back then, for example, the Pininfarina trapezoidal line was criticized because it made cars from completely different brands (such as the Lancia Flaminia and Austin Cambridge) look similar and took away their typical brand character. Of course, then as now, you could (can) tell the different models apart, you just have to take a closer look.
As I said, it's all been there before ...
