Have you ever noticed that in movies depicting the future, the cars
usually look like the cars that were prevalent when the movie was
made, ony more so? Watch a movie from the 50's that's supposed to
take place in the future, and the cars have fins on them that make a
T-bird's fins look like trim strips. Recently, the "cars of the
future" in movies look like eggs on wheels, or Delorean/Pantera
flying wedges.
I think it's safe to say that cars in thirty years won't look like
anything we picture now, but I guarantee you if we saw one today,
most people wouldn't like it.
