Once upon a time the car body was designed first (for aesthetic reasons) and then they began thinking how they could fit the passengers, engine, suspension, etc. inside it.

When? Certainly not before Harley Earle. The stylist was always handed a set of parameters. Cowl height, for instance is set early on.

Now they (a lame committee) decide the layout and then think on how they can fit a not-so-ugly somewhat aerodynamic body over it. Yes most modern cars are ugly and boring IMO.

Some committees as less lame than others.
This committee took an extremely aerodynamic body and stuffed a Ducati V-twin in it.
