Watching the progress of the car industry, we have to draw disappointing conclusions about the ability of the consumer to self-analyze their benefits and needs. And also – to recognize the crushing victory of populists and marketers over common sense. Any way, in the modern world people value car’s design more than any other aspects of a vehicle. So today we are going to look at some of the best looking cars wallpapers of 2023.
In the 1990s, there were the most reliable pre-chamber diesel engines with mechanical high-pressure fuel pumps, which took care of 700 thousand kilometers without overhaul and consumed 5 liters of diesel fuel per 100 km. But automakers do not get tired of fighting for efficiency, they are trying to defeat the laws of physics, although so far it has only been possible to go bankrupt on a lie.
The popularity of sports cars is on the rise
Good-quality interior trim with high-quality plastic and genuine leather was also in fashion, there was a body color that kept “freshness” for 10-15 years. Those cars had everything you needed, except for modern multimedia and passive safety. It was possible not to touch anything except these two things.
But 20 years have passed, and the people, without any embarrassment, moved to helpless crossovers outside the asphalt with a ground clearance of 160 mm, an interior made of explosive plastic and leatherette, with “direct” turbo engines with a resource of 150 thousand kilometers and preselective robots.
Now everyone is sure that this is how normal cars should be. Because marketers explained: the crossover will give you freedom of movement without borders, and the “high-tech” engine will save a lot of money on fuel. Of course, both the first and second are not true, but such is the global trend.
People mostly prefer the look of a car to its comfort
We are talking about non-budget cars for the bourgeoisie – the kind in which people invest money because they enjoy it. But no – they are afraid of hydraulics like fire, Citroen is considered a brand for people not of this world, and hundreds of thousands are invested in cars of completely different brands.
It would be sheer foolishness to deny that rear-wheel drive or a properly tuned all-wheel drive, coupled with a rigid chassis, gives an unforgettable experience in tight, but smooth turns. The rear of the car, rowing with wheels, pushes you inside the turn, and it remains not to overdo it with the gas, so as not to sag across the road and fly into the oncoming one. Adrenaline storm, dopamine whirlwind… Racing is undeniably cool. The problem is that on our public roads there is, by and large, nowhere to arrange them.
The root of love for low-profile tires and stiff suspension, I believe, is purely psychological. The buyer of a crossover, first of all, chooses such a car because it is big, tall and looks menacing. Fast sedans and giant rollers are bought because together they make a dashing warlike image. It is important to have the theoretical ability to drive fast and dangerously, and that is what you pay for both in money and in your own comfort. At the same time, risking your skin by turning the steering wheel with the gas pedal depressed to the floor is completely optional.
