Steward, that is exactly the proof that it is no longer about "form follows function", but about a shabby transfer of sports car design elements to these miserable SUVs.
Well it wasn’t supposed to be a dislike of ‘sports’ SUV design particularly
I’ve had a few (2 no M classes and a BMW X ) and quite liked them and I do secretly quite like the look of the new Lambo Anus
(but don’t tell anyone)
The SUV designs I don’t like are the early Porsche SUV’s that had a face like a duck billed platypus because they tried to just pump up the grill-less wide mouth frog face of a 911 and create a curvy swoopy split grill
They’ve improved the design by making the grill more agressive, straighter, less fussy and less curvy
Another is the Bentley which just looks like a black cab on steroids because the nose is too high and flat and it doesn’t have a mouth, just a big flattened nose
