Please excuse my stupid question, but...
What does make people buying this kind of cars (Soul, Roomster, C3 Picasso, Cactus, etc...)? Because in terms of aesthetics and design concept, some lines of these cars make it really odd in my eyes. It does hurt my eyes to see a car, which looks like it isn't finished, or designers made a tad bit more lines than necessary while drunk or under influence...
Like the Soul - its almost vertical back, the sides, weirdly optically looking more vertical in the back than on the place of the front doors, the roof line (almost levelled) in cooperation with side windows shape make the ilusion of dropping down a bit more than enough, the side windows itself pointing back on the top evoque sensation of roof being dragged back, all the weirdly shaped multi headlights... I could continue, but it is
Cubism was a weird art style, I wonder what makes people in automobile industry think it's time to take it back...
On the other side, I do really like the detailing in the interior, the stitched detailing, the diamond pattern on the doors, or the exhaust pipes (those should be on the side, not centered in my opinion).
