This board is often full of intelligent, incisive comments, a testament to SAAB owners for sure. The idea of improved safety and technology as design drivers makes perfect sense, but to the extent that function drives form it may not hold true. Its hard to imagine that the move to the current body styles is the result of new technologies constraining cars to look the way they do. Aerodynamic improvements topped out long ago (we're not talking F1 design here). It's more, as some have stated, a marketing strategy. There is a high degree of subjectivity in evaluating how a car looks, and IMHO the current flattened, creased jelly bean body styles just don't get it, new technology notwithstanding.
