When aerodynamics and good looks collide
Why the human eye (well actually the brain) USUALLY prefers to have flared fenders instead of more aerodynamic smooth ones?
Why exposed wheels are usually preferred to fender skirts?
Why a long hood is preferred over a shorter hood with a more inclined glass for a smooth hood/glass/roof transition? The Ford Aerostar and other minvans look so soccer mom's while long hood SUVs look manly.
Why a well defined trunk is preferred over a fastback for family cars? The rear end of the Porsche Panamera looks horrible.
Big wheels and tires over smaller ones?
Ferrari style flying butresses over an inclined back window?
Please post your own if possible with pics.
Does it has something to do with the human eye being trained for centuries to look at animal shapes and perhaps horse drawn carriages?
