Cars

rounded edges in order to be more aerodynamic.

Considering the facts that all car manufacturers seem to have the same

aims with their models, that they cooperate and use same parts, series of

parts and even the same models under different names it seems quite

natural that modern cars tend to look more and more alike. The trunk lid is high in

order to offer greater cargo space without imposing on the passengers. The Mitsubishi 3000 GT for example is

practically the same car as the Dodge Stealth, only the Mitsubishi is made

in Japan at the original factory and the Stealth is made in the US at the

Dodge factory. The

design of the trunk lid is also approaching the 'optimal' shape for easy

loading and access. This makes for different models to conform considerably under the

rules and regulations for the design of a car of this decade.

The last and maybe the most logical reason is that all manufacturers are

striving towards 'the perfect car'. There are only so

many ways to technically achieve these goals. Windows are large and pillars are thin for better view.

Another reason is that many manufacturers actually cooperate and by

contracts copy each others models.

The lights, both back and front, are homing in on the design for maximum

visibility.

They have simply bought the rights to re-badge the Isuzu Rodeo as the

Honda Passport and marketed it as an all new model. Honda who have been in need of a sport utility

vehicle in order to grab their share of that part of the market, which has

grown considerably the last decade have taken almost desperate measures. The wheel base is decided on basis of good turning ability

both in the case of parking and at high speeds.
