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.
