[QUOTE="zan, post: 688590, member: 9632"] yeah, this is just a fashion in automobile market. started with Civic SO4 in 1996 with BIG (bigger than norm) headlamps. Ford Focus followed in 1998 as well as Yaris/Vitz/Echo, MR-S, Celica, RAV4 and Estima in 1999. then out of a sudden every car manufacturer was designing weird looking headlamps. 'long' taillamp started with Fiat Punto and Volvo 850 Estate just before mid 90s. Honda CRV followed not long after. slim headlights used to be the 'IN' thing in early 90s. the slimmer the better. Cefiro A31 and Accord SM4 were pioneers. 2nd generation Integra has the widest slim headlamp causing for a small nose. when it comes to design it is a very subjective in saying. but in order to sell, then must follow what is market trend. just like year 2000..silver was the IN colour. u see silver cars everywhere. at anytime and anywhere. silver had evolved then to become yellowish, blueish and greenish but under the microscope its still silver. this is what Proton had failed...to follow market trend. ha ha ha..padan muka.
