Do you have evidence that cars are purposefully designed to be obsoleteM

  > Do you have evidence Ironic request given the lack of any evidence in your previous very definitive statement that it's: > part of a trend in car design to cater to those awash with masculine insecurities or being told by the media they need to be more "manly" But if you now tell me (below) that it's just "your opinion" and not a matter of fact then it's perfectly fair to call it "projection" (taking your personal feelings and generalizing them to others). This isn't a PhD thesis. But fine, every other aspect of product design has been proven beyond doubt to be subject to planned obsolescence. It's not only reasonable to assume that aesthetics won't be an exception, it's also the best area to do it as it cannot be regulated in any way. It appeals to people's inherently subjective tastes. You can probably find even better resources than these a short internet search away: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence#Perceived_obsolescence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence#Perceived... https://uxdesign.cc/planned-obsolescence-in-aesthetics-ad73cfce9338 https://uxdesign.cc/planned-obsolescence-in-aesthetics-ad73c... https://www.motorbiscuit.com/car-companies-use-planned-obsolescence-consumers-buy-more-cars/ https://www.motorbiscuit.com/car-companies-use-planned-obsol...

    I don't have to provide evidence of my opinion about design. You have to provide evidence when you claim that a company is doing something for a specifc reason
