God yes, let’s get back to colored lenses, please.

I’d like to give this proposal a five star rating.
They’ve all just got better at hiding their hubcaps is all.
You’re right. Look at this trash. Silver steelies are tasteful and timeless, and if a car can’t look good on these, it’s not going to age well.
I’m not suggesting an extra window out there, nor a body colored panel in its place. I’m suggesting that designers pen a design that is realistic for the manufacturing limitations and doesn’t rely on trim pieces to disguise bulk.
What the hell is this?! Printed, PERMANENT information in a car’s interior? Why didn’t they display “e-tron” on a tiny AMOLED display for the modestly flat-bottomed steering wheel?
It was morbid curiosity that made me click on this article...looks like a worst-case-scenario interior.
But how will it look on steelies? The true test of the design of an economy car is whether it still looks tasteful on the wheels that most people will buy it with.
This image almost makes it look like they used orange lenses for the turn signals in the rear light clusters. I wish they’d committed to it.
At least they got this right. Despite the Hyundai-esque levels of over-sculpting everywhere, they had the presence of mind to post the mirror to the door panel instead of the corner of the DLO. Classy move.
It’s time for entry-level compact cars to stop pretending they have rear diffusers, underbody aerodynamic panels, and brake cooling ducts.
Stupid filler panels fore and aft. Its 2016, can’t we just be honest about the shape of a car’s DLO?
Spreading out your office in the middle of the day in yet another cafe in that charming transitioning neighborhood, in your t-shirt and ill-fitting jacket, you can be distracted by your chariot of privilege like never before. And when you’ve showed it off in front of Bauhaus Books & Coffee, Espresso Vivace, Victrola,…
His knees are right here.
That Volvo 142 though.
I don’t mind being redirected to a video, but I need to know within the first paragraph (or the first line of the very next paragraph, at the latest) that that’s what’s happening.
But they do decrease emissions!
Jaguar V12 in an NA Miata...poor little firewall.
If you can’t credit it, don’t use it. There are plenty of great artists busting their hump with amazing work and styles you can recognize.
