      @@jacopozenomoscardo1604 - I get what you’re saying, especially compared to a modern McLaren for instance, but I think it’s important to contextualize design in its time. I couldn’t decide if the weird orange car that had the round headlights was meant to show advanced or English design, but I thought it was hideous. I’d think many cars if the vintage of the R32 are pretty hideous and it seemed almost like “boring” was something to aspire to back then.

    I understand why they called r32 ugly the reason is at that time they didn’t have too many cars with super busy and non symmetric design that’s why the whole car industry started to design weird freaky looking cars in 2000s and we still have them so now that we are in a time full of non sense large heavy non symmetric cars , we appreciate the simplicity and balance of that skyline gtr.
    Some manufacturers started to realize this and now they are creating modern style classic designs like new 400z new Lamborghini Countach.

    14:55 - it's sort of fun that back in 1995 Clarkson was criticising Japan's ability to design aesthetically pleasing cars - I look back at the nineties now, and of the cars released that decade that I still find beautiful to this day, I think almost every single one of them is Japanese. Eg. the Mark IV Supra, RX-7, S2000, etc.
    The style language the Japanese were using in their car design in the nineties was exquisite: soft lines and curves, compact, beautiful silhouettes, perfectly proportioned and minimalist; no fussy details. The Skyline is an exception really, because it's so boxy and conventional looking...yet it still has a certain something that other western cars of a similar silhouette didn't have. A kind of aggressiveness, and sleekness.
    It's a shame that the new, 21st century revamps of Japanese icons have tended to be either dull or hideous.
