Why do modern grocery getter city cars have to look aggressive and (according to designers) intimidating?
They are bloated, yet tiny, the cheapest cars (in today's money) and move like snails.
They literally do not have any right to look "aggressive" and even women who may be the biggest group of people buying these are into "cute" and "friendly" looking front ends.
So what the fuck are designers thinking? Is it because it makes them feel funny in their pants?

styling is the least important part of a car
99% of the time you are inside the car and not looking at it

there must be some really optimized and deeply researched psychological guidelines car brands have to obey to now, otherwise this 100% synchronized retardation in only a couple years makes no sense.

Being small in itself is ragebait. Even a bit of Intimidation could reduce being treated like shit by 1 to 5%.

a small car that looks all fuming makes things even funnier and more degrading

>Even a bit of Intimidation
>be me
>driving country road below speed limit in my suv
>notice white ford explorer behind me
>uh oh
>it has a bully bar
>double uh oh
>anon, just drive normally
>cop clearly wants to pass me but no clear room to do so
>passing zone - slow down more, put on flashers
>cop won't do it and then on tails me slightly less aggressively
>fake right turn on first paved turn off I see
>two sheriffs continue on their merry way
>don't get pulled over
phew

Maybe you are but I have a house with a bed and a job with a desk I'm at more than 1%

I don't know what's the appeal. They even made the current Fiat 500 look angry.

are you retarded? The reason behind aggressive styling of modern automobiles is women, whos role in the decision making of which car to buy when considering a family purchase has been steadily increasing in the last 30 years.

The group responsible for the death of a simple car are women, hey like gadgets and driving aids
The group responsible for the death of a small car are women, hey all buy cuckover SUVs to sit high up and feel safe
The group responsible for the death of cute and endearing automobile designs are women, since they constantly feel indimitated by the entire world so to them a car that looks intimidating is a form of defense.


in 2025 the most manly vehicle you can drive is a pastel coloured suzuki alto lapin

i wonder if it would make them feel better if i told them that i already feel intimidated due to safety concerns with them being in charge of controlling a vehicle

lol

>>28504200
I mean the 500e. So stupid.

>>28504464
most importantly, it simply doesn't make any sense on a car like that

Why are cars with non-angry headlights so scarce regardless of price range. These are some of the only cars without frowny headlights

Meanwhile decades ago even aggressive supercars had neutral, even innocent eyes. It's like a flex nowadays to have a calm looking car amidst all the impotently angry NPCmobiles

To remind the cyclists of their place

Prior to the latest facelift, it looked more rounded. Thinking it's done to follow the latest trends. I like the new Picanto facelift.

They look pretty good for a new subcompact. I much prefer the styling to the Mirage.

Nice inside, for the cheapest car you can buy.
