Why cars are so ugly now??

A major factor, in my opinion, is safety regulations, which require cars to be wider and have softer front ends to reduce harm to pedestrians. Also, mass production seems to favour more uniform and 'boring' designs with fewer unique elements, and many companies, I think, are trying to achieve a futuristic, minimalist aesthetic, aiming for a 'spaceship' look. 

Also its because car companies try to apeal to more wider audience, so they change the look of a car to be more pleasent to day to day life. (For example look up evolution of Mitsubishi Eclipse)

i think the main reason of this is because of cost cutting :D most car companies nowadays have one design that they all pass around (called rebadge manufacturing) and just put different components in. that way its cheaper, easier, and they get more of a profit. that, combined with safety regulations and the economical recession of 2008 (which killed off a lot of the "cool" car companies) caused lots of them to stop trying to put out cool stuff

Totally feel this—cars from the 90s and early 2000s had real personality. These days, everything feels overdesigned or just bland. I started craving that “real car” feeling again, so when I was in Dubai, I tried Rent a Luxury Car in Dubai just to get behind the wheel of something that actually felt like driving again. And yeah, it delivered. Sharp handling, raw sound, none of that overly filtered EV silence. Sometimes you just need to reconnect with the road, not the tech.

Totally agree—cars from the 90s and early 2000s had so much more character and individuality. I actually miss that charm every time I see today's overly streamlined designs. That said, I recently rode with Majestic Chauffeur Perth, and even though their fleet is modern, the experience itself brought back that sense of luxury and uniqueness. Their service across Australia really stands out—not just because of the sleek vehicles, but because every detail feels premium and personal. It's a rare reminder that travel can still feel special, even if today's car designs aren’t as bold as they used to be.
