Why did cars in the past look amazing, while some cars today always look awkward.
What's the awkwardness about it?
The reason mainly lies in the design of the car lights.
The design of car headlights in the past was relatively traditional. It seems that the earliest cars always used two round headlights. The taillights were basically the same but slightly smaller in size. The front of the car was like a face, and the logo was like a nose. , the air intake grille is like a mouth, the front window is like a forehead, and the rearview mirror is like an ear.
Headlights are naturally the eyes of the car.
Round eyes never look awkward, because human eyeballs are round; but human eyes are not round, so the design of the headlights has undergone many changes.
The headlights of ordinary cars in the later period were mostly rectangular in shape and relatively large in size. They looked like wise eyes or gentle gazes. Some truck headlights also looked like sharp gazes like warriors; this This kind of single-piece headlight is indeed very good-looking, and I personally prefer this kind of headlight. However, headlights have changed a lot in recent years, and the split-type headlight design has become the favorite of some car manufacturers.
As the name suggests, split headlights are headlights in which each light group is designed separately.
The most representative one should be Fiat's Multipla. The high beam, low beam, fog lights and turn signals of this car are all designed independently and are distributed in the upper, middle and lower positions of the front of the car.
But does it look good?
When I saw this car for the first time, I felt like I saw the "Thousand-Eyed Demon King". I really don't know what other words to use to describe it other than weird.
Another rather peculiar car is probably the Nissan Juke. It has a circular light group below and a thin strip of headlights above. It looks like a mutated fly, which is indeed a bit off-putting.
Another type of split headlight is designed in a way that the daytime running light and the headlight are separated. The daytime running light is in the position of the traditional headlight, and the headlight is usually in the fog light position or integrated with the frameless grille; such a design is Many people complain that a slender headlight looks like someone is squinting at people, which is somewhat evil; but some people think that this design is very avant-garde and fashionable, but judging from market performance, it seems Most people still don't like it.
For example, Jeep Cherokee, Baojun 510 and other early vehicles that used this design have become past tense or unpopular cars; Lynk & Co also uses this design, and it seems that there are no popular cars in this brand.
Recently, some new energy vehicles have used this kind of design again. Can you accept this kind of design?
In addition to split headlights, through-type taillights have also become popular in recent years. The first brand to use integrated through-type taillights should be Lincoln. In recent years, new energy vehicles have become popular, and major car manufacturers have followed suit. . Split taillights and integrated taillights look very different, but it’s really hard to say which one looks better, because through-type taillights can also have a very good design.
Now let’s start the voting process. Do more people like split headlights or ordinary headlights? Do more people like through-type taillights or ordinary taillights?
Let’s start counting:
