i think american cars have really lost the art of using body lines. certain cars still have them, like the vette, new challenger, but some of them are too caught up trying to be edgy and thinking the public wants some new age shit (or something retro all new aged up), that they end up making the car look like junk.

the genesis has a bit of a funky front end (cure it with a better grille), but at least it has a good looking profile.

i prefer smoother looking cars and the big 3 are notorious for putting out stuff that is anything but.
I totally disagree. Have you seen the Honda Accord? More creases than your grandma.
I think the Fusion and the Malibu are way better looking cars, smooth in thier style and with a form that more closely follows their function.
As for mass produced vehicles, the Camaro is very dramatic. Certainly not your run of the mill styling excercises from Toyota and Honda.
I get so tired of everyone bashing the looks of the Camaro (challenger/mustang), when you all know damn well, if it had a honda badge on it you'd be standing in line to swing on it's nuts.
Get over it, so it's rear is a little weird, so what.....the total package is killer and at that price, I can't even understand why we are talking about a Hyundai.
