It's not just the look that's been degraded in my opinion, as I was driving Mo today it occurred to me that one of the greatest things about the view from INSIDE the car looking forward is the headlights. I truly think it's a huge negative. Also, I'd be scared shitless driving at night having oncoming cars thinking I'm a motorcycle. Somebody's gonna get their front wheel taken off soon enough.
Ken, i TOTALLY agree with you, and others on the safety view. It is a MUST that a motor vehicle presents a visible image to other road users, particularly at night. So imho, if the headlights need to be in these positions then additional "side lights" on the mudguards are A MUST for the protection of the vehicle.....SIMPLES
