They probably sell one at a toy store, I'm pretty sure I had one as a kid.

 

a big part of why designs have become more bland is that cars now have to be safe for the people they run over besides just the occupants... that alone pretty much eliminates anything low and pointy being designed

 

But on the flipside they completely compromised visibility, and pedestrian deaths are skyrocketing, highest level since 1990.

 

hey i didn't say it's all been worthwhile lol... i'd love for low door lines and big windows to come back

 

not bad! the hood slopes down fast so it's not blocking at all. it IS stupid that the car doesn't have a front camera to aid in parking though.

well my car is low and pointy, but lexus obviously had some pedestrian regulation hurdles to get past so the car has SEVERAL EXPLOSIVE BOLTS under then hood, which presumably, upon a front collision, will 'fling' the hood out of the way. i hope to never experience that.

 

Yep. The tall belt lines, tall dashboards, thick pillars, and tiny windows - and you can't see anything out of the car. Some of these cars are seriously unsafe to drive because of that.

 

Good to know, I only drove the LC briefly, so I can't remember the details. But for instance when my wife and I were considering the M8, we test drove it and turned it down purely because of the **** poor visibility and generally horrible ergonomics.

 

i also hope you never have to lol

maybe eliminate wasn't the best word, but it's definitely more difficult to make happen... and things still have to be more rounded off and sloping, unlike the low sleek designs of yesterday
