^^ I think you're right. That's why new ideas don't come around; someone doesn't like them. Everyone doesn't like something, though, and you can imagine what would happen to Camaros if an ecomodder type got the job. More people like Camaros than Priuses. More attention is given to sports cars.

Marketing, Legal or Styling? They're different things. I'll say right now most stylists aren't into wheel skirts, but I can't speak for the focus groups.

A Cetrion looks much better hunkered down. When i was in hs, one of the hippie  boys (73-75) had one. This was in dallas tx. never forget the day he made it go up & down for us........
and of course a skirt looks silly with some stupid name..... ....oh scratch that  |
Sometimes it's nice to have suspension travel
My favorite use for a Citroen (or damn near any car, come to think of it).
Those cars were driven hard, and even with skilled mechanics they did not want to take off fender skirts during stages. This brings up a good point because most drivers will not want to remove skirts in the middle of the Mojave or in a snow bank in South Dakota or in South Detroit... you get the... "drift".
