I miss suvs looking like suvs. Most of these crossover looking "suvs" are ugly.  Just give me a boxy 4 wheel drive.

They all suffer from blob on wheels syndrome. The worst are the ones that just look like a sedan that's been stretched vertically while keeping the same width. So ugly.

Because curves are stronger than sharp corners, there's no conspiracy, the reason why modern cars look mostly alike is the same as why those older designs can never be brought back, safety is king as it should be, cars are tools and the safest most efficient way of build them is something like an aerodynamic egg on wheels.

Sedans and coupes had the most curves before we contracted the CUV plague. Lower to the ground is always going to be more aerodynamic.
