I have a co-worker who, while driving his Buick SUV (which doesn't have an oversized grille) on the freeway, a rock went through the grille a punched a hole in the radiator. He got the engine overheating light, pulled over, and had to call for a tow truck. Knowing that, owning a car with a big, oversized grille would make me nervous. A big grille just gives more space for a rock to smash into your radiator.

@@VectraQS When I was a little kid, my friend's parents had an early 90's Taurus wagon. I really liked the look of it. Anyway, my coworker should maybe start playing the lottery, because the rock went through a small opening in the grille, and hit it at exactly the wrong spot at the wrong angle. I saw the SUV after it was repaired, and I'm just amazed that it happened. The rock also damaged the A/C compressor. It wasn't a case of bad GM design or quality or anything like that. It was just crazy bad luck.

I get bullied on the road in my peppy MR2 by bloated SUVs and muscle cars with aggressive styling, piloted by disinterested women on cell phones and young men stabbing their gas pedals immersed in their own sound and fury. My parents were people of what either Roman or the Regular called the "90's convergence" of pop culture and public opinion, a time of agreeable adult contemporary music and films like Shawshank Redemption and Pelican Brief, despite my mom being quintessentially feminine and my dad traditionally masculine (former military renaissance man). If I were nostalgic for the vehicles my parents drove, I'd be into cars of every make aside from American muscle, so the love of that profile was never passed on. This is why I view one's desire for an angry car to be rooted in the zeitgeist, even when said desire is considered nostalgic for a time predating the contemporary. The zeitgeist became electrified with fear post 9/11, and our cars reflect an outward desire to appear AS a bully in lieu of the strength that was taken from car buyers with economic downturn and societal entropy. The look of peppy, happy looking cars that I personally enjoy is a reflection of the opposite. The late '90s were a time of optimism for the future, economic prosperity, and the still tangible fumes of modernism. My happy looking car, and preference for round headlights (like on my first car, a '94 Integra), is probably indicative of my assemblage, and I dislike angry, swole cars which represent their antithesis (bolstered by drivers I perceive to be poor/ not paying attention/ too needlessly loud/ too needlessly aggressive/ riding my ass at 10 over the speed limit, etc). I don't like angry headlights, but I dislike them for the same reason I dislike bloated bodies and needless safety tech- it's all a representation of a post- 9/11 world that I am sick of.

A very well thought out and written comment. I can understand your point. I like the mr-2 as well. Like the look of it. It looks fun. Like it just wants a road to drive on and have a blast. And I feel like owning a smaller car just makes it look like everyone else in their SUV or crossover is trying to eat you. I personally own an '18 impreza sport sedan. I bought it in that island blue color. I didn't like the red, and the black, blue silver, and white colors looked too plain. The blue was a bright, happy color to me. The exhaust isn't overly loud, and the car isn't fast, like at all. It does, however, have a grill that puts my old outback sport's to shame in sheer size, and headlights that are angled downward in a slight scowl. I like the look of the car, but I don't think it should really have that look. It's a 152bhpncar with a cvt and awd that I use because the roads suck here during the winter time. Gas mileage is decent and the stereo was a selling point for me and my simple self. I personally prefer the slightly boxier design of the 80s and 90s. In short, I don't think cars like my grocery getter impreza (as much as I love her) should have as overstated a style as they do. Save that for the cars that can own up to that lookbwithbtheir performance.

As a fan of the 90s, I prefer happy looking cars. They just feel like they're going "hehehehehe do it one more time" when you floor it. Even if they are slow, that relatively old tech feels good to drive, even with barely 3 digit hp numbers. Always happy to go out for a drive, whether it's a supermarket run or a roadtrip.

Theory on people who like angry cars vs. friendly cars: Angry cars appeal to people who see the car as an extension of themselves that they wear as a suit to interact with other drivers. Friendly cars appeal to people who treat the car as an independent thing to have a relationship with. It's "I'm going to show that guy in traffic who's boss!" vs. "I'm going to take my car out to some back roads where we can play."

Holy shit, what an awesome video! Had me glued the entire time. Now, I understand why everything on the road looks like pissed off salamander...and here I thought the styling was just an homage to our Reptilian Overlords.

I sure as hell like to be bullied in my econobox by the average Crossover because it's slightly underpowered and round. Modern A-segment cars (Fiat 500, Suzuki Baleno, VW Up) are completely undesirable as in: being *too weak* and *not aggressive enough / look silly if they would be aggressively styled* so they either have to go minimalist/retro or just go super cheap. The B-segment (VW Polo, Citroen C3, Mazda 2) is where it's at, the cars aren't as spartan as the A-segment and are considered good cars by most people even with only 90hp. These don't make much sense in the US because of the geographic and the cheap gas so C-segments (VW Golf, Toyota Corolla, Mazda 3) are the minimum there with B-segment based Crossovers (Mazda CX3, Suzuki Vitara, Nissan Juke) to almost C-segment prices. All cars above the B-segment have the full right to be aggressive (by most people) because they aren't the bottom of the barrel, most A-segment cars are actually styled to be cute/retro/minimalist.

I’m about 47 seconds into the rant and I’m already happy. I also feel exactly the same about angry car designs. If you look out any given five-year period of car design you can see that car designers are exactly as fashion conscious as clothing designers. It’s all fashion and lemmings.

I used to call the aggressive looking hot hatches an "angry high-top sneaker"

When I first saw the latest style overhaul of the Civic a couple years ago, I burst out laughing. I nearly had to pull over, I was laughing so hard. That's the point at which I really started to think modern aggressive styling had jumped the shark. On further reflection, though, the biggest issue for me is probably that everyone's trying to look exactly the same.

One of my favorite things to do when I went over to my grandparents house in the early eighties was to pour over my grandfather's MOTOR books. The big blue tomes that came out every few years (I believe). He was a Ford mechanic from the end of WWII till his death in 1983. My biggest interest was in the beginning of each section; Grille Identification. I spent HOURS doing this. Your video made me think of that. It's a silly thing to love about cars but that's what got my interest in cars started. Can't wait for the next RCR Stories!

I havent listened to the entire essay but the fact that Crown Vic is not one of these angry cars but they still manage to bring out a certain emotion, the sense of authority and respectability not only due to cultural implications but by how it looks, is remarkable. Its how 5 series' angel eyes worked.

Even though it was way before my time (I was born in '88) I've always had a soft spot for the designs of the early 80s that were really angular but without looking angry.

To Roman’s point at the beginning, I think pareidolia is essentially the specific way we anthropomorphise our vehicles. I view my car as a living creature with a personality, but more like a pet than a toy. It’s the modern steed. If you have a sports car, the goal should be to look sleek, muscular and aggressive- like an athlete gearing up for competition. Not all cars can or should be anthropomorphised to this extent though. Your basic Ford Escape doesn’t need the same aggressive lines as the mustang.

I think you could further divide car design into cars designed to impress others and cars designed to impress yourself. Angry cars fall distinctly into the former. As someone who adores older designs with their focus on proportions and grace, I find little to admire in current designs. I'm not trying to impress anyone. I want something beautiful to behold.

Like most trends, what starts out as cool or fresh by a few, gets overdone and exploited by the me too crowd.

I've been a car designer for around a decade, and you'd be surprised to see how rarely such discussions are made in studios. Too rarely, in my view. On personal taste grounds, I believe car design should strive for a certain degree of "honesty": the aesthetics should not write a check the vehicle can't cash in terms of overall performance and function. Unfortunately, such well-principled thinking often gets overruled by managers, marketers, etc. Regarding aerodynamics, it's not really a factor: you can model a very smooth front end but still make it aggressive with the graphics (grille and headlights cut lines). European pedestrian regulations have sometimes contributed to making front ends taller, and when you got a lot of "volume" to disguise, you often got to do "something", even resorting to the fake intakes I personally despise. To close this off, I believe the current success of angry cars is the byproduct of the uncertainty that has been pervading Western society since even before the 2008 economic crash. Cars have always been a projection of our personalities, hopes, and dreams... Or lack thereof. Love your channel, BTW. Feel free to check out mine too: it's about automobile history and design, so you may like it!

I feel like there's a few parallel car design trends lumped in with the mentioned examples: Angry designs, sporty designs, and "more is more" designs. Maybe it was in the thrown-out rant, but I was surprised by the omission of the connection between this trend and other subcultures like instagram gymhardos, fake survivalists, new vikings, salt lifers, tactical clothing wearers, people who buy $600 coolers, people with gun manufacturer bumper stickers, and perhaps the thin blue/red line crowd. A lot of American dudes seem to be on an inescapable path of toughness worship and while I don't begrudge auto makers making a buck off them, it's dull driving down a highway in MA surrounded by angry Camry's with grimaces, bristling with extra body lines, strakes, vents, etc.

These ultra slanted, glaring headlights are a hype focal point without the car body to validate their use. Meanwhile many super cars have relatively calm & poised headlights with outstanding bodies.

Great video -- thanks for the detail and care on this one. Funny story -- I was a political science major in college, and in my first political theory class (DePaul in Chicago), we had this old Socrates looking professor (who I ended up taking many classes with) hand out a printed online article about the Dodge Caliber wagon. In the article, it mentions that the headlights were shaped to look like crosshairs from a gun scope. After giving us about 15 minutes to read the article, he just asked the class about why we think he decided to share this with us on the first day. No one could figure it out, so he started probing... "Was there anything in this that stands out? What about the name of the car and its design?" Someone finally pointed out the line about the crosshairs for headlights and he perked up and said something like, "Yes, exactly! Ok, so now, why would anyone need or want crosshairs or guns on their vehicle?" Again, blank faces around the room. Someone sheepishly said, "... to kill someone? ..." And the professor went berserk. "YES, THAT'S PRECISELY WHY YOU'D HAVE CROSSHAIRS FOR HEADLIGHTS!!! TO FUCKING KILL PEOPLE!!!!" And that was the beginning of my appreciation for and many classes I'd take with this professor, including my senior year capstone. His name is Dr. Jim Block from DePaul University if anyone is interested in learning about him.
