Perhaps these "classics" would make you nostalgic for the days when you'd dare call the 914s' "styling" "awkward". Compared to many of todays' automotive styling exercises, I'd say the 914 is an example of restraint, clarity and purposeful design.

Agreed. The first time I saw that Cube thing, the one with the wrap-around window, I thought "What design team approved that?" Fugly.
It's clear the schools of art that teach design have turned their backs on the Golden Section and anything that resembles symmetry. The head designer of Apple understands these principles and applies them. All other designers, in trying to emulate, have ditched the only aesthetic that appeals to the human eye - 1.618. The results are for all us to witness (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) |
