But that's part of it. Cars look the way they do because that is an efficient shape for something doing the job of "Car"

People who want cars to look different for it's own sake are saying they want worse cars.

Why? Why do those people need their cars to be shittier cars just to look different? What are they after? I bought a car as a toy, but it's average looking and not really special, and that doesn't have to actually impact how much I enjoy it. My previous shitty car was also very much enjoyed.

I don't understand the insistence that it looks "different" as if there is any virtue to a car design that was randomly generated to look different.
