Is the Toyota Belta boxy design cooler than contemporary curvy cars?

Today, many automotive manufacturers are creating sleek, flowing lines of more curved, aerodynamic designs that have elbowed out classic design elements, such as narrow side windows and sharply angled roofs. But the Toyota Belta (especially older models) have a more squared, angular look to it. The Belta’s design choice makes it stand out from most modern vehicles. Others say that this boxy design lends the Belta a certain charm and character that's missing from modern wind tunnel shaped cars. There are others that will say that it looks dated and less sophisticated. The nature of this debate extends to larger questions about automotive aesthetics, and the extent to which aerodynamic efficiency has meant a loss of individuality in car design.

Hell yeah! The Belta's boxy design is a middle finger to all those cookie cutter aerodynamic blobs on the road.

No way, those sharp edges will kill our fuel economy. Curves are the future, man.

It has nothing to do with being cooler, it’s about being different. What makes the Belta special is that it doesn't go with the flow.

But, we had our time with boxy cars and they look old now. The Belta is more nostalgic in design than cool.

The Belta’s design is comfort food for car enthusiasts. It’s not cool, but it’s cool in its own way.

Coolness is subjective. There are some people who dig the boxy look, and some who like curves. The Belta is just for different taste.

Boxy design is easy to judge the dimensions of the car when driving. In my book, that’s pretty cool.
