This seems to be the current styling trend. Contour the side of the car so that it looks like a wrench.

The new subaru also features a subtle Asimov, another current trend.

If that’s a wrench, man is it rounded off over the wheels...

It might be a bone too.

What do you mean by an Asimov ?

That area below the headlight where everybody is putting tiny grilles or indents, looks like the automotive equivalent of Isaac Asimov’s mutton chops.

It lacks the lower indent so not quite a wrench.

What the heck? Any chance you could post an example of what you’re speaking of here?

Thank you. So, an “Asimov” is actually a thing? You’ve schooled me.

Eh. Styling to reduce visual weight. I like it. Not this car, really, just the idea.

While that’s a good description, I think “Mutton Chops” would make sense to a whole lot more people. When I see Asimov, I try to make connections to robots, books, etc...
