Do our new car designs relect our aggressive culture?

Chrysler have had their new 1920's style gangster looking cars on the market for some time and they seem to be gathering momentum.Notice how impersonal and aggressive they look with large wheels,bulging guards and boots,with grills that ooze masculinity.The rear windows are small and with heavily tinted glass totally depersonalise the occupants.

To a large degree,Holden and Ford are now copying this look.Are these designs just a reflection of a less sophisocated society that sees bad manners and violence as being the norm?

Maybe Arjay...but for quite a while I have been observing that Chrysler monstrosity and wondering "What the heck were they THINKING"?

It's the ugliest brute of a thing I've ever seen.. yuk.

Give me an F6 Typhoon Falcon anyday :) but then..the shape of the grill/front is also a bit "I rule/thuggish".
