The blue one reminds me of the C7 ZR-1 where the design brief seems to be "put random **** everywhere". Wouldn't be surprised if they came from the same designer.The facelifted Taycan certainly looks a bit less...unique I suppose? I will say I've gotten rather bored with Porsche's design as of late, especially with the Macan and Cayenne.
Another facelift that I'm unsure of.
2020 - 2024 Cadillac CT5 prefacelift (or 2022 - 2024 for the Blackwing)
Really like the design of the CT5 when it first came out and it still looks handsome to this day.
2025+ facelift doesn't look as cohesive (if that's the word).
The C7 ZR-1 really was a mess with that tacked on spoiler and huge front splitter. With all that aero, I would have expected at least some notable diffuser at the rear to offset it all, but it looks like a regular C7 from the back. (Other than the wide fenders)The blue one reminds me of the C7 ZR-1 where the design brief seems to be "put random **** everywhere". Wouldn't be surprised if they came from the same designer.
Hyundai and Kia really are the fast fashion of the auto industry. New designs, often radically new, in a shorter period of time than any of their competitors, yet questionable long-term reliability and quicker depreciation. It could be that they are still overcompensating from their reign during the mid 1980s to the late 2000s as the most boring brands with the worst made products and reputations. I can’t wait to see what the next Santa Fe will look like after Hyundai decides they’re done with the retro-boxy theme.I will commend Kia and Hyundai's dedication to throwing out their entire design language every 4 years.
