Our perception of design hardly changes over time, at least not fundamentally (question of the week)
Sometimes we look at a car from back then and think, how could we have liked it back then? Many people seem to feel that way, but not everyone.
We wanted to find out for sure and asked Zwischengas readers whether the sense of aesthetics is changing ? Do we no longer necessarily like what we used to like?
The answers were surprising, at least a little.
In fact, 50.5 percent of the 414 readers who responded stated that they still like what they liked 20 or 50 years ago. And that they are convinced that they will still like what they like today in 10 or 20 years' time.
The next 46.9 percent of respondents were not quite so sure. They stated that their taste and sense of what they found beautiful would change over time. However, not across the board; certain things were still considered beautiful, others less so.
Finally, 0.2 percent said that they think completely differently about beauty and design today than they did 20 or 50 years ago.
And a further 2.4 percent were unable to identify with any of the answers given.
Here are the answers in graphic form.
Of course, the next "Question of the Week" has already been launched. This time we want to know whether classic car drivers would be prepared to pay more for fuel if this were necessary due to CO2 taxes or cleaner fuel production.
And of course you can still look up all the previous questions of the week and their results on a special topic page.
