headlights that are connected to the grille
edit: now i don’t have a problem with them, mostly just SKINNY HEADLIGHTS AND LARGE GRILLES
WHY??????
thanks to BMW and the F30 3 series, everyone is joining in on the bandwagon now (just kidding, someone fact check me, that’s when I first started noticing them)
one of the minor updates to the 2017 GC was the headlights, which are now connected to the grille.
Honda has most certainly jumped on the bandwagon
so has audi!
WHY? Cars look perfectly fine with headlights that don’t connect to the grille. one of the only good applications i’ve seen this design is on the BMW X3
i mean, they don’t all look terrible, but certain cars could look much better without the connected grille-headlights, such as this CC below

But...but....this is an ancient tradition.
Lights inside the grille:
Lights attached to the grille:

the modern day application of it is unneeded at (many) times. admittedly, the new charger looks right with it

I don’t really see the issue. Also, it’s a pretty damn old concept:

This is...not new? Just to pick a random era, here are 80s Japanese premium sedans.

Even then, the headlights are less skinny than the grille.

problem with this trend is that modern interactions call for yuge grilles and tiny tiny headlights

You cannot disconnect the headlights from the grille when the headlight IS the grille.

I think you’re complaining more about Sarah-Palin-Glasses headlights than grill connected headlights. Lots and lots of cars have their headlights connected to the grille.

yup. should’ve clarified about the skinny headlight and oversized grille part

Absolutely, I really don’t understand this trend and think it looks gross.
It’s more the skinny headlights integrated with grilles though, as pretty much everyone in the comments said, plenty of cars have had headlight-grilles and looked fantastic - it’s all about proportions here.

i don’t hate skinny headlights (for the most part) audi shows us they can integrate the design nicely, such as with the A4

And the new Skoda Octavia.
It’s just ugly. Why split up the headlights in that way.
There are now four separate DRL units.

The thing is, it’s not a bad looking car, before the ‘facelift’.

I agree. The other day, I saw the Chinese domestic model, and thought that those headlights were a local variation (like the BMW 3 Li and whatnot). Guess that that’s not the case!
