Modern car design is bumming me out

The Euro brands are doing okay, though Audi seems to be slipping into ostentatious-ness with the new models it has on the way. Volvo has some great work coming down the pike, as does Land Rover. It’s frustrating, though, that you have to go to the Euro/luxury brands to get even a taste of simplicity.

Honda especially has been a disappointment for me. I grew up in a family that always had an Accord or Civic in the garage. I’ll always have a soft spot for my dad’s old '03 Accord coupe that was super fun to drive and just gorgeous in person (not to mention it was the first car I ever took past 100 mph), and I’ll be moving on from running an Element to the end of a glorious 15+ year lifespan. There was a time when Honda was doing some really great work. Today, there’s not a single car in their line I’d be happy to own.
