Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and blah

They all look the same when they are parked together. And there were others scattered about. What happened to automotive styling?

What happened to automobiles?

They turned into appliances. A row of refrigerators would be just as exciting.

Someone at Car and Driver magazine once wrote; "The great thing Japan did for cars was make them into appliances, and the worst thing Japan did for cars was make them into appliances."

They lack character.

Gas mileage aerodynamics.

Well at least there is a blue one.
Just about every newer car on the road today is either white, black or gray.

True, true...I hardly ever see green these days.

My wife has a 2020 Lincoln Nautilus. It runs good with 2.0L turbocharged 4 cyl, and gets good mileage, about 30. Is comfortable to ride and drive. I tried to get her to get a red one, but she had to have white, just like everyone else.
Like her grandmother used to say, some people's taste is all in their mouths.

Cookie Cutter Designs!!! I happen to have one for my grocery getter, the gas mileage at 5.00=/gal is killing me at the pump if I drive my truck!!! Despite it looking like most of the others, I do like it for the most part...cr8crshr/Bill

This is pathetic....

Do you want to eat bologna every day? Do you want to listen to the same song all the time? Wear the same color shirt?
I am so disappointed in how people just conform to the herd.
Black, silver, white.....
No way, man. Not for me. The wife won't drive a boring color and neither will I.
Even when my 2006 Dodge truck was totaled....

...at 36,000 miles, I needed another truck right away. I refused to buy a boring color. I almost flew to Arizona to get something. I stumbled upon my 2007 truck at a dealership 20 miles away. It was NOT listed in their inventory.....

It had a few things I didn't need but it was a great color....

ALL GREAT AND TRUE ^^^^^ POSTS !! Family and friends are amazed when I identify exactly what year car is pre- 90's, yet I tell them I can't discern any make of modern vehicles on the road today, with the exception of Challengers, Chargers, Camaros, and Mustangs. << Now, what does that exemplify ? There is no individualistic styling anymore.

Damn that bed looks so nice and comfortable, I could sleep on it !

Conformity. Don't get me started.

Did you know Chrysler (not Daimler, FCA, or Stellantis) was the last domestic automaker to offer a blue interior?

Black is the only interior available in the majority of automobiles today.

I've got a dealer brochure for 1973 Ford LTD someone gave me recently that shows 9 interior color choices and three seat fabrics. Can you imagine that today?

Had a 2000 Durango that I ordered new for the X and took delivery in Oct 99 and still liked the thing in 2017 when the X left with it. Gas mileage sucked but it did everything it was asked to do and did it well. Heck, I still like the styling of it today and with a 318, 3.9 gears, limited slip, trailer tow package and so on, it was a decent vehicle, had plenty of pep and it held up to the X until she blew a hose and didn't want to stop....never said she was a smart person.....
