Kia Syros has made a shocking reputation with its distinctive boxy outlining in the filled up compact SUV advertise. This unique styling has certainly caught peoples eyes, but it also makes one wonder how long its appeal will hold in the design sense. Others reason that a look as striking and unconventional might age quickly as automotive design fashions change. Others say it will stand the test of time like other iconic boxy cars have in the past because it looks so different from anything else. The discussion frames larger questions around automotive design philosophy based on balancing trendsetting and timelessness. Potential buyers of the Syros have the opportunity, not merely to appreciate it as it is today, but to project, years and decades ahead, the way they will feel about the looks of it — if they buy Syros today. The resolution of this question of design longevity could make a huge difference to the resale value and satisfaction of the vehicle’s long term owner.
