Why do all cars look the same? It’s not what you think…

- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- For some people, cars are more than just vehicles that get you from one place to another, they’re an expression, a style - they’re a getaway from the mundane. So, I’ve noticed that a lot of people are saying cars… more specifically, SUVs all look the same. And they’re not wrong....
I'm honestly surprised this channel only has 348 subscribers. The first few times I saw your channel I misread it as "348K subscribers". I hope RUclips keeps recommending your videos.
Same I thought there must be an error on the page at first
Thank you!
862 a year later. RUclips algorithm doing you dirty my guy. Great production value and interesting content. Keep doing what you're doing, you'll get there.
Didn’t notice how low the sub count was until I saw this comment. Wild he’s not even at 1k yet
I saw some render of the Hyandai Santa Fe, and I was like, “A Pathfinder? A Grand Wagoneer? A Grand Cherokee L? A Rivian SUV? What is that?!” Cars have more “pizazz” today.
I came from the brutalism video. This video was really interesting, the part about headlight regulations, I had no idea. The second half about modern design was interesting too, also that bronco looks awesome. Subscribing thanks
I can't believe a video as well made as this doesn't have more views, and you more subscribers. Your content is top quality man, love it
Personally I never had much interest in cars, but your presentation actually sparked some interest in me, they're sorta cool, I get why some people are really into them
totally agree, found this after watching his brutalist design video, top quality stuff, super interesting and well made
@@willewiking98 Same, I came from the brutalist design video as well. I hope the algorithm blows this guy up someday
Does he mention anywhere something about "pleasing to the eye" and market success or driveability? I just can't stomach watching the video the quality is excellent but the content... Oh no. Makes me wonder how he would describe attractive people.
@@florkgagga What do you mean?
@@Pepius_Julius_Magnus_Maximu... The way it is presented is reminiscent of the way some popular 16y.olds talk: "this ugly, thhis beautiful, obviously, look at that roofline, or jawline (if it was people they were talking about), that there is a big no no, obviously, nobody likes that".
Of course the Multipla looked strange at first - then I absolutely loved it after half an hour, wonderful to drive (if you are not necessarily into sports cars) and so freakin practical!. But never mind me, I'm just old. So I asked, because I don't want to watch the whole video.
Let’s talk about how Audi influenced the current big grill trend
About the grill - I think the pinnacle of grill design was the Shelby AC Cobra. And if you squint real hard you can see that grill design on almost every Ford produced from the 1990s through today.
I think this is also why so many Gen Z and Millennial's Dgaf about vehicles the way past generations did...they just see them as giant money pits when all they are is a way to get from one point to another..
Add in that Boomers & Gen-X NEEDED their cars to get to their workplaces. Work today (IF you can find it) has changed that need.
Your video truly opened my eyes to the beauty of modern cars, and I didn't anticipate that when I clicked on this. Fantastic video, dude! You deserve way more views and subscribers for delivering such an informative and high-quality experience.
Honestly, now that you set it out to me i see the subtle diferences, but, i still dont like where car design is right now. I have hope that with evs and a design revolution ppl will look back to retro design and put futuristic caracteristics on it. 80s and 90s design will come back with an ev twist, and im here for it
It's a matter of time... Your channel will have thousands of subscribers very soon. Congratulations for the editing and for explaining the topic in great detail. Congratulations from Italy; I hope you continue to give us content like this
I'd rather have a greenhouse, where I can see things around me clearly, as opposed to minimal glass area and everything being hard to see.
I really liked this video! Interesting to see the evolution of car design over time and what has informed such changes.
I need a playlist for the music in this video!
Really good video. I hope your channel takes off.
I think the Genesis line up has a very interesting design. I just purchased the 2018 G80 last month just for its styling. But even some people say they look the same as the 300 because of its badge. I don't see it but others swear they do.
The bit about aerodynamics being the key factor for gas mileage is completely wrong: in Europe, for example, we had small cars because the fuel is always pricier than what you get in the US, but before we got around with aerodynamics most car makers tried something that the US manufacturers still can't do right even to this day...
... *build engiens that don't guzzle a gallon of gas to do half a yard.*
Aerodynamics can only get you so far, if you have to put a gas tank that is the size of Texas just because your engine is unbelievably pityful on consumption and yield.
The issue with making cars look cool and tougher in case of a crash, is that it makes you more likely to actually get into a crash. Big pillars and small windows make you more likely to hit a pedestrian you didn’t see. And sadly they haven’t engineered a way to make pedestrians tougher.
Its exactly the reason we all thought
I think another thing to acknowledge is that realistically, cars have always looked "the same".
like it or not, a large amount of car design is recycling existing elements, with maybe 5% new stuff throughout the design.
Some markets don't care about "uniqueness" and any deviations from traditional designs is just a risk, resulting in them looking "samey" (look at a '56 ford and chevy, or a '77 imperial/continental/eldorado, or a '14 rav4/tucson/escape).
But, buyers of certain segments are usually more open to change, so that's where the design effort, and the more experimental elements get put in.
Occasionally designers are willing to take larger risks, and inevitably some of these catch on,
then once the public get used to them, other companies jump in on the trend, until everyone's made a couple of generations of cars off this, so they start making arbitrary small changes that don't wholly improve on the design, until some new trend takes off.
I just think of the tailfins and low-long-wide '57 chryslers,
the radical wedge-shaped gandini designs like the alfa romeo carabo,
the aero body of the ford sierra,
the concept of "corporate graphic design" on the Ford-Ghia saetta,
the rearranged face of the nissan juke,
maybe even the absurd brutalist minimalism of the cybertruck will catch on, who knows?
Small correction at 7:25. Japanese vehicles were already small, inexpensive and efficient before the oil embargo. Sales of Datsun, Toyota, etc. hugely increased. GM, Ford and Chrysler wanted back in. Giving us the Pinto, Gremlin, Pacer and others. At least, that is my understanding.
There are career legislators people. ENOUGH Regulations
Give me a classic brick any day!!...myself I own a 96 jaguar XJS convertible and it's a head turner and a Conversation Piece 🙂
I just discovered your channel and love hearing your design thoughts.
Really cool video! Thanks a lot.
Regulations being one major reason for poor design is an interesting point! I still miss bold designs. Most manufacturers do not have the guts to design something interesting. There are exceptions. But not they are - well - only exceptions.
Oh and I hate the trend to paint every car in white....^^
that is exactly what I thought
White roller skates!
3:42 I only just realised that this van’s name is a snail pun.
You keep talking about tall roofs as if theyre bad looking but I don't see it. I think that's more of a you problem
I really like the short and stout look of the current Chevy Trax. The 2024 Trax will look like every other Crossover SUV.
You show me 70s hatchbacks or 60s American land yacts, or 30s cars, I couldnt tell you the difference. Someone trying to convince me modern cars looks the same wouldn't get far. A RAV4 and CRV just dont look alike to me.
There is a problem with brands though. You see one Mercedes you have seen every Mercedes under the sun. Brands go crazy for corporate designs. Some brands mire than others.
Good video
You should getting more views bro
Regulations will slowly change, too, so goodbye side mirrors and such. Right now, everything is based on safety and aerodynamics. Perhaps far into the future, self-driving will mean hardly any accidents, and endless clean energy will mean no more being slaves to aerodynamics and we'll get more wiggle room for design just for design's sake.
So, you acknowledge people today are craving the variety of designs of older times...but then dismiss that by saying "oh, this is just the standard and we have to live with it, it's the best design".
Shouldn't there be a supply for that demand? Why not apply that argument to designs as well?
whats ironic is that even these "standardized" designs are still proprietary from a mechanical standpoint and will require their own individual components which defeats the purpose of his argument.
17:15 that clip has my blood boiling
Regulations? Explain keep then
Please what are the titles of songs in the soundtrack?
Good video, but the merkur cars came out after the Taurus
I don't buy that "regulation" excuse. It's just lazy design, forced by mass production needs. The ever increasing consolidation of car manufacturers will continue to suppress the unique designs in favor of larger profits.
4:28 i have never seen that top car before but it sure is an ugly one oml
Please stop the television behind you while you talk.
Why, I like it
