Is it bad that I actually like the look of the new Puma?
but the pinched front, with the lower cowling and squarish fog lights .. it's a bit multi-surfaced/angled ..I rather like the latest Focus...
I still think they look great personally. Some such as the ecosport are questionable, but there's still nice looking regular Fords:

I cooked the stock 4 piston brakes on a twisty road lol big brake kit is 6 piston, +1" rotor and Ferodo 2500 pads standard.Pretty good.
Is it just the drag strip? Just wondering why the big brake kit?![]()
yup, they (BMW) have been losing the plot styling wise for years now, same with some Mercedes models....I think BMW are using blind designers now.
majesty from the colour adds a lot - his mustang ... in grey/silver this really exposes the design, or lack of ? does grey only work on a porsche spyder ?Which is just a sad sad thing. Amazing the difference wheels and tinted windows can make
Yeah fair comment. Interesting.How much of that convergence is down to the regulations the designers have to follow regarding the height/width/position of lights, and crumple zones for pedestrian impacts, window sizes etc. It's similar to why all F1 cars look the same. The regulations determine where you can and cannot place bodywork, so everything follows the same pattern. I'm certain if they had free reign then every manufacturers car would look entirely different - which is why concept cars look brilliant until they're forced to be sanitised for real world use.
