    Is there any particular reason that seems to show up a lot? Just a transient design trend we have to suffer through or is it a direction everyone is going to go?

    I'm with you there, Ross.


    Those are wonderful. :cool: I would love to see more simple and elegant designs reminiscent of those, rather than the "detailed" messes we get from everyone these days. :(

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    I think it's a 'me too' phase some of the designers are going through :eek:

    I meant to continue that GM 'copied' the look of the Ferrari 365 GT when designing the Monza.

    The XP-897GT came after GM pulled the late 60's XP-882 out of the mothballs to show against the Pantera.

    I hadn't considered the Jetsons angle, but yes, the influence is unmistakable.

    I agree, though minus the giant belt, LOL.

    This Vette concept really had that 60s look. The later, mostly silver, concepts with glass backlight really transitioned to a more modern look. I liked them all though, newer and older.
