After I noticed that straight vertical surface on few cars I started real-life observation and these style of wheel arches is actually on nearly every modern car:

And that's on a pick-up!

And here - an older vehicle - curvy all the way:

And an image of my production - it's awful, but I hope it explains something:



After looking at my own picture I think there is sth to do with wide tires better fitting in the new design, but it also reduces the space between the wheel and the fender.
