Automotive Journalist Lists 10 Car Design Trends "That Need to Stop"
Ill-advised aesthetic and ergonomic choices
As a former art director, automotive journalist Mark Takahashi has the background to speak design a bit better than his peers. In a recent video called "Car Design Trends That Need to Stop," Takahashi aired ten gripes encompassing aesthetics, ergonomics and anachronisms.
Because the overall video's a bit long, I've isolated the time stamps so you can hear and see examples of the individual problem areas he points out:
1. Fake Vents

No buttons and black or red interiors are deal breakers for me. I grew up in a desert and don't want a hot interior, and when I drive, I want to watch the road, not the a.c. to see if I've pushed the button enough times!
