The cars "main styling feature" is superficial, everyone has a different concept of what it is. Like the previous gen. lude, I think the rear lights are the main styling feature which I think some people would disagree and regard the front as that.
We even call them "s-types" for godsake. I think its what people are into at the moment, if its the hype its okay, if its old school, it sucks, human nature thats all,
EX. all clear tails on accords
I considered that, but the Ford S-Type is recognized by its from front fascia. The Toyota Altezza is recognized by its rear. This is from the viewpoint of a non-enthusiast All styling is superficial, what's your point
The S-Type taillight IMO is just merely a different design on the 5th gen taillight...no passerby will recognize it and shout Jaguar taillight! Maybe an enthusiast, but that is doubtful. On the other hand, the altezzas are not only played out (I've seen far too many on F-150's), people recognize them as rip-offs.
