You could have at least picked a good looking car.

Not necessarily. You think sports cars can't pass legal muster? You can still make a good looking car, but automakers have this thing called forced market segmentation. It's how the rich define the culture of the poor.
The only cheap cars they make are soap bars. There's no actual cost difference. The designer makes the same amount of money, even. But because you are not paying them an extra 100 grand, you get a bar of soap. This is an incentive for you to save up and buy their more expensive, less soapy looking models. It's also a solid business model.
This has been going since before soap. People post higher end cars of years past, but econoboxes of the time were no more attractive in the public eye than altimas are today. If anything, they still looked like soap, even if your milennial mind thinks anything old is automaticall cool.
Oh yes, every now and then, there's a cheap car that looks nice. Every now and then. But it's the exception, not the rule.

does not matter

Go get yourself a cheap motorcycle. Full fairings. 250cc. Tuck in and go 60mph. Now sit upright so you're right in the wind and watch your speed drop, necessitating more air/fuel burned (power) to achieve the same land speed.

The new kinda has an old school vibe, maybe if the trunk was longer

daily reminder that these threads are just as cringe as redditors dressing like al capone
James Davis
Yes it does.

The concept car was actually very good looking... but the production model looks like a fucking taurus
Joshua Jackson

Lucas Martinez

Owen Anderson
not really, it looks like a generic modern saloon car
It isn't stately

Because the government wants car manufactures to make cars that are fuel efficient, but at the same time require cars to be safer and safer which requires more and more weight.
Daniel Williams
It matters more since the air is thickest near the ground :^)

This, so much this.
This shit has driven me up the fucking wall my entire life.
When I was younger I wished somebody would come in and disrupt this bullshit. Leverage the fuck out of economies of scale and deliver cheap cars that are styled well with good driving dynamics. Then I got older and realized things are the way they are for a reason. Normies are so used to this shit they are convinced that good stuff can't be cheap, and they wont buy it.

the air in the sky is thicker because it is cold
have you heard of a cold air intake
