Proponents argue that it would preserve cultural heritage and appeal to those who value traditional designs. Opponents argue that it would stifle innovation and limit the design freedom of car manufacturers.
Narrow down which types of responses you would like to see.
@9MVCVJH1yr1Y
No, what type of question is this? It would look super cool though.
@9PR98FTIndependent1yr1Y
What in the hell does this even mean? What is “classic automobile aesthetics”? Why should I have to look up what this is. Obviously, this question has an issue with wording - smh
@9PYG8XG1yr1Y
No, I wish companies would do this voluntarily, but it should not be required
@9PWBSX71yr1Y
This is stupid and doesn't belong as platform issue. We have bigger things to worry about and fix.
@9QDDWBB1yr1Y
No, but the classic aesthetics should be encouraged as long as new technologies can be implemented to improve driving
@9XZGVN4 8mos8MO
The Government should require all new vehicles to be designed for safety and the lessening of impact when and if a pedestrian is hit.
@9RKSSHQ12mos12MO
No. Why would we allow the government to regulate aesthetics? They should only regulate designs when it concerns safety.
I support classic automobile aesthetics, but the government should have absolutely nothing to do with this.
Regulations and guide lines in place, otherwise it is up to the driver.
@9PS96BV1yr1Y
No, the government should incentivize it but not enforce it
@9PPSF5W 1yr1Y
No, but driver, passenger, and pedestrian safety should be the priority
@9MYQ4751yr1Y
Regardless, the government should require that all new vehicles be designed to be safer and less likely to harm pedestrians
No, let the market decide what aesthetics they want
@9PLKCF81yr1Y
No, the government should have no say on aesthetic design on vehicles
@9MYMGYN1yr1Y
There should be both modern and classic design options so the customer has choices.
@9NHS5NN1yr1Y
Government should have limited access on designs of vehicles unless it brings harm.
@PoliticalBlonde 4wks4W
Yes, but only if the designs meet strict environmental standards to reduce emissions and carbon footprint.
@B5KKRYR2mos2MO
I prefer traditional designs and want to see our cultural heritage preserved but do not support a government mandate on private businesses.
@B33CBV75mos5MO
Car manufacturers should be able to create new innovative designs while keeping classic aesthetics for the people who prefer them.
@9X7HK4F9mos9MO
Only insomuch as to allow new vehicles to function properly on existing infrastructure (i.e. similar proportions/shapes to fit in lanes and under bridges)
@9X5YMTT9mos9MO
The government should design all new vehicles to be as safe as possible, and then the classic aesthetics can be worried about.
@9X5RPKW9mos9MO
It depends on what the people want cars don't always have to have old features sometimes all new things can be good.
@9WZFY3C9mos9MO
yes and no. yes for keeping the classic look, and no as a more aerodynamic car can help it be fuel efficient
@9WV7C7J9mos9MO
No. What benefit would there be if all cars looked the same for all eternity? As long as cars don't look like Elon's dumbass Cybertrucks I'm fine with car design evolving.
@B554DBB2mos2MO
No, the creator of that vehicle should be able to designed their own aesthetics, but should be legal aesthetics.
@B535BXF3mos3MO
No but it would be nice for cars to look good while actually doing the job for longer periods of time
@B4S4HV3Women’s Equality3mos3MO
It would be nice to have classic looks but the goverment should not be allowed to require automobile manufactures to design their products a certain way.
@B4BPKGF3mos3MO
I perfer classic cars from the 80's and stuff so older cars are better but I think everyone has their own preference
@B48LMKT4mos4MO
I don't think it matters what the cars look like. If some people want a traditional-looking car, they can have that. If some people want a modern-looking car, they can have that.
@B4766H7Independent4mos4MO
The government should only regulate safety requirements for any automobile. Any features/aesthetics should be chosen by the company and its customers.
@B3RJLMW4mos4MO
No, it limits creativity from designers and limits the experimentation from the STEM individuals that is born from said designs.
@B3QVYY64mos4MO
This is one of the least important issues going on in our country, however I do like classic automobile style
@7WDP6PTIndependent 4mos4MO
No, companies can design things however they want to it's up to the consumer to decide weather or not they like them or not
@B3K3S3C4mos4MO
I think it’s important to strike a balance between preserving the charm and historical significance of classic car designs and embracing the need for innovation in the automotive industry.
@B24MGFX7mos7MO
why would the government care about this, make new cars or something and if they want to preserve old designs then let them.
@B23RK8G7mos7MO
If it is a vehicle that was discontinued in the 90's, they should go back to that look. For example Broncos, they should have gone back to the 70s look with modern technology
@9ZCD8TC8mos8MO
No. The government has no business dictating what people design (even though classic cars are more beautiful).
@9YD6M288mos8MO
I don't understand why we need to "preserve the classic automobile aestheic", yes, the 'classic' looking cars are nice, but I don't see how that should be a requirement.
We should focus on making cars safe for the people who drive them, but focus more on implementing a better public transit system so we don't have to rely so much on cars
@9YB9N438mos8MO
No, and aesthetics will be allowed to return to form if viable baselines for transportation and architecture are offered, as time cost will be a less motivating factor
@9Y8LXYH8mos8MO
To a degree, cars should be able to look however the manufacturer wants. But require that it isn't exceptionally over the top in any way.
@9Y882N88mos8MO
Depends of the preferability of those who make the cars and how easy it would be to make such a car.
@9Y339JX8mos8MO
I don't really care, the vehicles should just be designed to ensure as much safety as possible for drivers in case of a collision
@9XZM5TY8mos8MO
I think that specific types of cars like Mustangs and Corvettes, and other classic sports cars that have been around for years shouldn't have to conform as strictly to modern regulations for emissions and design elements as they are a minority and are not driven nearly as much as the common sedan or minivan.
I would say maybe for some cars as some people like the classic car aesthetics but some people just like the new looks of cars these days.
@9XMZHP68mos8MO
In some ways they should, but keep things that will keep people safe like seat belts, and also making them battery/energy operated.
@9XJ8RB78mos8MO
no they can make a car however they want it to look as long as it does not pose a danger to anyone else on the road
@8RZSR8HIndependent 8mos8MO
I hate the cybertruck too, but no.
@9XHJB498mos8MO
Require is the wrong word, but preserving classic automobile designs should be preserved and encouraged.
@9XGRXYL8mos8MO
I feel like it should be the dealers choice whether to or not to make the newer cars match older ones. It's all depends on what the customers like, and how useful it is.
@9XCYLGX 9mos9MO
No, as long as it's purely aesthetic. If the design changes function and safety, it should be preserved.
@9XBSDMP9mos9MO
Fuel regulations have encouraged manufacturers to scale their vehicles up to fit the new standards, completely eliminating the classic american car and replacing it with foreign manufacturers like toyota, nisan, and honda
@9WP5DGM9mos9MO
Yes they should allow regulations for new cars as well to traditional cars for protection of both parties meaning for the traditional vehicles should not be up charged for service or parts server based off it be a older model
@9WHP3YY9mos9MO
Yes, abstract automobiles (not meant for artistic purposes) tend to be ugly and uninviting, such as the Tesla CyberTruck.
@9WHJMWD9mos9MO
i think that it would be cool to have cars that look like old cars but function like new ones but like i don't think the government should control personal style choice as long as that choice doesn't create danger on the road
I think that it isn't that important but at the same time if the design is hurting the other automobiles around it then I can see why it should preserve classic automobile aesthetics
@9W68TMD9mos9MO
No, I don't believe they should but they also shouldn't prevent anyone from creating the classic automobile aesthetics.
No, it should be based on safety. I would however love to see car companies take initiative on their own to create replicas of classic models, with new tech.
@ProudJew 9mos9MO
The idea of mandating classic aesthetics in new vehicles feels disconnected from the real challenges of today. Instead, rethinking car production by focusing on retrofitting, upgrading, and upcycling existing vehicles aligns with sustainability goals and addresses environmental concerns. Let’s redirect our energy towards innovative ways to reduce waste and improve the cars we already have—not on preserving outdated design trends through legislation.
@9W75VXF9mos9MO
This question seems biased in order to frame “giant child-killing trucks” as merely an aesthetic choice.
@9VSGJKS9mos9MO
Yes and no, I think there should be some sort of preservation of classic automobile but also new vehicles and designs.
@9VRYND79mos9MO
if its about aesthetics no, if you're talking about gas, batteries are more detrimental to the environment
@9VQ9L3YRepublican9mos9MO
They should design new designs and old designs, like Hyundai is doing. Keep the old look for some cars, and make new looks for other cars.
@9VLD6YB9mos9MO
It depends on what you mean by "classic aesthetics" If its about the PRNDL stick I definitely agree. Mostly yes to this
@9V7DZFN10mos10MO
No, they should not be forced to do so but classic cars are so much cuter and all the new cars are ugly like the Tesla truck so they should do it out of their own free will.
@9V6QNT410mos10MO
We can keep the classic automobile status in building and add more but also keep more moderate cars gas wise no electric
@9TXY3FZ10mos10MO
I think this is a hilarious thing to pose as needing government action but I absolutely love older cars so I say do it.
@9T9N9FT10mos10MO
Yes, land yachts are pretty, just give them a modern internals but keep them works of art rather than ugly rounded SUVs.
@9T87Q9Y10mos10MO
Indifferent, it would be a neat concept but those cars were very unsafe so it may be a step in the wrong direction.
@9TH56SP10mos10MO
I think the car manufacturers should be more flexible in designing vehicles both old and new as a whole.
The government should not regulate aesthetic aspects of production vehicles; they should focus on safety and environmental regulation.
@9T5QPS610mos10MO
maybe every once in a while because you hardly see any classic vehicles anymore that are worth a lot of money.
@9RWSX8X11mos11MO
No, but mandate that all new vehicles with substantial design differences to traditional automobiles undergo strict safety testing to ensure aesthetic changes don't compromise the safety of the driver or passengers.
@9NPCMJ31yr1Y
No but should rework how emissions are used in comparison to vehicle size.
@9MVGZBJRepublican1yr1Y
The Government does not need to require. It should be up to the manufacturers.
@9S2TYBLIndependent11mos11MO
I don't think this is a political issue. If folks want to innovate designs or maintain the heritage, they should not involve the federal government in any capacity.
@9RYN94W11mos11MO
While I do think that new vehicles should preserve the classic look, that is a silly thing for the government to regulate.
@9QLVH851yr1Y
The government should not force this but companies should do this if they know what’s good for them
no, the decision should be left for individual car manufacturers to decide.
@9PZ5Y7W1yr1Y
No, but it should be a desire of the manufacturers.
@9PSBS7K1yr1Y
No, so long as the model is still safe and doesnt effect the ability of other drivers
@9P5JXZ31yr1Y
No. Let people decide what they want to buy while maintaining copyrights.
No, but I do like the way older cars look and would prefer automobile companies have some kind of incentive or lack of deterrent to bring back older designs.
No, this is ridiculous. If consumers want the new stuff, the suppliers should be allowed to produce it.
@9NYSQQY1yr1Y
It shouldn't be legally required but it should be encouraged
@9Q7P2LL1yr1Y
Car makers should make cars that sell with government subsidies.
@Carsonjames 1yr1Y
No, let the car designers do there job and design cars, if its a bad design it won't sell.
@9PTZCQ31yr1Y
Unconstitutional - government should have no involvement in automobile design or any private business practice
@9PCYGX71yr1Y
The government should not be involved in the design of automobiles
@9P9SCH41yr1Y
No, the government should not have a say in the design of vehicles, especially in a free market
@9P79TK71yr1Y
No but it would be cool if they made new cars that look like that
@9P5NM8C1yr1Y
No, vehicles should be designed with an emphasis on safety
@9CHBHW4 1yr1Y
No, strongly, I hate to type when I don't need to but culture changes and to try to perserve culture as it is in a moment is a fools errand.
@9NXR3YL1yr1Y
No but it would be cool of them to make new cars and trucks that look like that
@9NML9K61yr1Y
No, but the government should require all new vehicle designs to be generally compatible with existing standards.
@9NLF3PX1yr1Y
No, aesthetics do not effect the performance of a car or any other asset
@9NF9B4MRepublican1yr1Y
No, but if your car is really aesthetically disgusting (like cube cars) you should pay an ugliness tax for polluting the public square; the same applies to architecture
@9N56KVQ1yr1Y
No but I do think that things like the cybertruck are a distraction on the road. Our understanding of aerodynamics will gradually change vehicle shape, so a law like this would get quickly outdated, but certain designs are just a visual distraction problem on the road.
