10. Auto Industry Corporate Culture
Over time the auto industry corporate culture has matured into a very corporate, and professional industry. As a result, the companies take a more conservative and systematic approach to designing new cars for the market. Where the dreams of a few engineers (or even just one) would result in a car with a bit more charm and character for classic automobiles, today’s vehicle designs are often the results of design committees and focus group discussions. As a result, the original design concepts of modern autos tend to be more watered down than many classics in order to stick to current trends and better sales on the show room floors when dealing with large volume production vehicles from the major automotive manufacturers.
