When fuel is still too cheap, anything more aerodynamic than a brick will look futuristic.

Isn't this the police car of the future?
After all, the original movie used the Ford Taurus.

Maybe they couldnt get an automotive sponsor so they did their best to blur the obvious design features that tells the make and model?
