Default 2025 - FUEL EFFICIENT / ELECTRIC AUTOMOBILES DON'T HAVE TO LOOK DUMB

The dumbest looking automobiles around today are always fuel efficient
or electric cars. Not all new
efficient cars look dumb, just most of them.
The misconception that anything radically new, like fuel efficient or
electric, must deviate drastically
from contemporary car design is poorly thought out.
Fuel efficient automobiles should be narrow not wide and short. They
should be longer, with seating
arranged one behind the other.
To achieve lots of passenger cargo space and less "parachute style"
frontal area, the automobile
must go longer and narrower in design.
The best side by side "slippery to the wind" design was created by
Chrysler, with the 2000 Intrepid,
Concord and 300 models. But this too could be even more resistant to
moving through the air by
morfing the design to a narrow, longer design.
