Oh, I'm not implying that all cars that have been designed with a low cd in mind are unappealing. Far from it. Just a few examples seem unappealing to me. And I agree that style is something that is certainly subjective.
Hey some guys like skinny women and some guys like the fat chicks... who am I to judge? Hmm... I wonder which type of woman would be more aerodynamic? The reduced frontal area of a skinny one or the more aerodynamic form created by the rounded edges of the fatter one?
