The American Car Design

post-247.jpg

America�s cultural character is often reflected in their cars. The US� outgoing and optimistic nature are always a remarkable feature of its car designs. The concept car Ford 427, for example, has the brash style that is uniquely American. For Dodge, it�s the big grill that represents its big engine.

Through the years, American car design has distinguished itself effectively from its European and Asian counterparts. Most American car companies are chrome-oriented, with the GM reasserting chromes in its Buick and Chevrolet brands.

Indeed, American car companies are conceptualizing their designs based on their cultural roots to attract buyers. And this is something that Asian and European car makers have yet to come up with.
