Not my pictures, but saw this car today. The brake lights are definitely not where you'd expect them and annoyingly low

Car design has really gone to shit in the last few years.

This and the turn signals that are just the flashing red brake light instead of the traditional orange light drive me insane.

And then people darken their brake lights so in the day time that's definitely not helpful.

Don't even get me started on the LED DRLs that are just as bright as normal headlights, so idiot drivers have no reason to think their lights aren't on when in reality they're driving around at night with no tail lights...

Most Americans cars have done this since they started making cars with turn signals. Dumb.

My most hated new design is the Led light show that is brake lights and turn signals on new pavement princess trucks.

Car companies discovered that they can make the same blobby SUV in slightly different sizes with the price on a sliding scale based on the size and people will buy them.

Why make good car when big car do trick?
