EU regulation threats have done more to change styling than anything else in the past few years. They are now styled to protect pedestrians in low speed crashes.

Yeah, that was one of the deals I was talking about -- thanks for posting that.

My understanding is that right there is why a lot of cars are getting really round-nosed these days. No more pedestrian-slicing Miuras.

Unless Europe has a thing for cars rampaging down the sidewalks in the hopes of mowing people down, Grand Theft Auto-style, don't mod the car, mod the idiots that don't realize "moving car + you ------> moving car wins." That's the world today, don't bring the idiots up, drag everything else down.
