New cars are so ugly

I can't be the only one that thinks this surely? Narrow squinting or oddly shaped headlights, huge front grills, jarring LEDs, strangely angled chassis' and heavy 'privacy glass'... Urgh! And the interiors aren't any better! What in the name of Baked Beans is the idea with flat-bottomed steering wheels? Any bloody caveman could tell you wheels are supposed to be ROUND! It's kind of in their job description!! And the weird colour choices and combinations of the materials and 'stylish features' that add nothing but extra expense, what's with them?!

Also why does every reviewer seem to use the words 'Mean' and 'Aggressive' when describing the vehicle's looks?! There was even one the other day who was excitedly describing the car (a family SUV!) as having a 'Get out of my way!' appearance!! That's not a bloody good thing!!

What car do you consider as nice looking?

I don’t know about ugly, but IMO far too many are now just too BIG - like bloody great tanks.

I agree for a lot of the same reasons you mentioned. I went with my dd to car shop and none of the cars appealed to me at all. And I remember we at least 5/10 years ago I felt like it was difficult to choose just one.
