I can't get past this new 'taller' design school. I just don't like cars that are taller than they are wide, it rubs me the wrong way, and really screams 'sub-compact' Such as the fit, echo, prius, etc.
IMO cars should all be wider than they are tall, not just for looks, but for safety (roll) purposes. Thought the Civic and CRX are both sub-compacts, they don't scream out as such, mainly because their body style is wide before tall.

i am in complete agreement. i hate the new cars that are tall RSX, new Si (fit looks like a 4door version sorta), hell most every car like the scions. its frustrating. 80's had great cars that are mean looking, 90's had great body lines and muscluar looks. the 2000's are just kinda bleh. o well the world market is starting to show and that means we might start getting cosworth focus's. AWD, 2.0 turbo, hatchback = yum.
