Additionally, outside of the complexity required to bend the alloy to shape a Ferrari - I would imagine a car that looks like a Ferrari, but behaves like a Civic would feel ridiculous, or out of place, from a cultural standpoint (much like driving an F1 car around your neighborhood).
I think sports cars balance their aesthetics as a compliment to their function, whereas a Mazda dressed like a Lamborghini would almost feel "phony" as the aesthetic value would not be in line with functional purpose of the car at all. Thus, they are optimized for their functionality, which is to store stuff and to be safe.

- seanp2k2 10y agoEconomy and practical cars are getting more racy looks these days too though, because not everyone wants to drive a half-gallon-of-milk-tipped-over minivan just because they're practical. The new Camary actually looks desirable IMO: http://toyotanews.pressroom.toyota.com/album_display.cfm?album_id=1157§ion_id=421 http://toyotanews.pressroom.toyota.com/album_display.cfm?alb... 2018 Accord also looks nice http://www.accordrelease.com/2016/03/2018-honda-accord-full-specification.html?m=1 http://www.accordrelease.com/2016/03/2018-honda-accord-full-... The new Civic hatch looks like some kind of military vehicle http://automobiles.honda.com/civic-hatchback http://automobiles.honda.com/civic-hatchback So, at least they're trying to make the econoboxes somewhat sexy.
