5 Car Trends and My Opinion on Them

There are many different manufactures trying out many new things. Some of those things other car manufacturers try to copy. This slowly starts to become a trend. These trends can be big things like body styles or small details like hidden cup holders. Today I'll take a look at 5 car trends and my opinions on them (keep in mind these are all my opinions).

1: Crossover SUV’s: There are so many car manufacturers that have started making these, but there is just no point. Just get a normal crossover or SUV, don’t get something that looks like it's a squashed SUV. Some of the manufacturers that have started producing them are Tesla, Volvo, Honda, Hyundai, Buick, Dacia and Jaguar. I just think they look really ugly and this is not one of the better recent car trends.

2: Redesigned cars: These redesigned cars have something special about them. Companies take an old car, install new electronics, enteror, paint onto the car and then they make it go faster. I did an article about a company who redesigns Porsches (Click here for that). Classic cars are already super cool, but when companies do these “new” upgrades it makes these cars insanely nice to drive and they look so cool. This is honestly one of my favorite Trends.

3: Big Screens: Personally I think that these big screens just distract you when you are driving. For example the Teslas have so many features in their screens that the driver probably isn’t focused on the road.. Often they look quite ugly, it just looks like the designers have glued an IPad to the dash of their cars. The worst offenders here are Tesla and BMW; they just put huge screens on cars that don't look good.

4: Secret compartment to the trunk: This is a super cool feature that many sedans have. You can pull the middle seat down to reveal the trunk. This is just a cool feature that I have seen on many German sedans including Audis, Beemers, VW’s, Mercs and even the Porsche Panamera wagon. Even though not many people who buy the cars know, but it's cool to know you can grab a snack in the trunk on a road trip.

5: LED headlights: Old yellow headlights look really ugly, but now we have LED headlights. LED’s look way better because they produce a cooler white color that makes the road a lot more clear at night. Also LEDs make the car look much better. Some headlights can change the look of the car completely. Most new cars come with LED lights these days but if you don't already have them, they’re a great upgrade for your car.

That's my list of five car trends. Since new car trends happen all the time I plan to write another car trends article pretty soon.
