Though that chrome gill strip looks out of place.

Volvo takes going retro to a whole new level.
|
It was an anniversary for them, actually.
|
Volvo XC70
|
They've done well by eliminating the 'boxy, but good' tag they were given.
|
Audi's TT coupe has been redesigned to be more swoopy.
|
And that design decision carries over to this R8, soon to enter production.
|
Much shaplier than the TT, in this reviewer's opinion.
|
Hyundai's Tiburon Art Car
|
Kids really liked this car.
|
Mazda Nagare concept car. Very swoopy, and very exotic.
|
Sleek, and everything you ever wanted in a concept car.
|
The Mazda Hakaze. It has a lot of creases on the body.
|
In the front, the creases reminded me of whales.
|
Cool, pleasant colors. Note the strangely shaped foot pedals, square steering wheel, and the orange (yet again!) controls on the center console.
|
The Miata still draws a crowd. People love the Miata.
|
The Mazdaspeed3 adds a compelling entry to the hot hatch segment.
|
Lexus LF-A concept.
|
Rather swoopy nose.
|
High rear haunches hide an air intake.
|
Another clean interior. Carmakers are learning.
|
Another protruding rear end. Note the wheels, which have pairs of twisted spokes.
|
...and a tri-port exhaust. Is it just for show, or just Japanese whackiness?
|
The current Mitsubishi Lancer Evo
|
and its replacement. It's become a cleaner car, shedding its boy-racer image.
|
It's gone curvy.
|
Meanwhile, Subaru's following suit by cleaning up its Impreza body WRX.
|
The wagon's gotten a little bigger, but the rear's become more curved, but not in a good way.
|
Meanwhile, Volkswagen gone and cleaned up theyr styling. Simpler, and more appealing.
|
The Passat Wagon also works.
