Way, way back in the last century, Chrysler had the fairly sleek looking Concorde, and there was the similar Dodge Intrepid. (Except in Canada where the Intrepid was also a Chrysler and Dodge sold mainly trucks).
These 1998 models looked good back then and did well for sales, up to the point where the stylishly formal V8 powered 300 made an entrance, coupled with the more aggressively angular Charger and Chrysler's new designs moved into the present.
The 1998 Intrepid
So why is it that years later everyone else is copying these nearly 20 year old designs? Here are some examples of what I mean.
2017 Buick
2017 Acura
2017 Honda
2017 Kia
2018 Jaguar
2017 Mercedes Benz
Maserati
2017 VW Passat
Tesla
Do you see the same resemblance that I see?
Maybe it's time for more appreciation for our old Concordes!
