...in cars. Elsewhere too. How you dress and, most certainly, in how you act. Look at this Ferrari: it exemplifies the marriage between the beautiful and the aerodynamic.
There was a time, not so long ago, when streamlined styling was sought after and admired. Attractive...
No longer. Our tastes are moving away from sleek, elegant lines in the direction of clumsy macho -- tough, rugged and ugly ducklings:
Seriously ugly has become the trend. Let's see where it takes us. Along with the sullen and clumsy rap gesticulating, ugly items -- ugliness justified by function -- seem to have taken the fort.
Maybe we've had one too many of designed, feigned elegance and phony refinement and soggy exaltation -- and this tripped the trigger...
I admit, the wholesale ugly is sometimes attractive. Nevertheless I haven't yet reached the point where I turn away from the elegant in favour of the awkward and unwieldy.
