Auto design is increasingly moving away from what many here would understand by good and aesthetic design. It also contains a message: The car in its current phase becomes a prop that posters life style themes. It has less and less to do with the fact that a car had previously embodied enthusiastic design that was directly related to the category of driving.
It may be a harbinger of the downfall of individual driving. If these ugly carts from Audi and other manufacturers meet the taste of the public, then it's the same people who will be sitting in an electric self-propelled car in the future without missing anything.
That sounds hard, but even if it hurts many people here at TM including me we may be in the middle of a paradigm shift.
