Be honest, when was the last time you went into a car dealership and asked to see a car with lots of "design elements"?
I dunno, a car is transportation and maybe entertainment, not art. You want art on top of performance then hang it on your wall.

The funniest thing about picking a car on its looks is this Lambo was probably acclaimed worldwide as the most beautiful car with the most intricate lines, and perfection of design elements never before thought possible in a car. But since it's 20 years old and we've seen it on countless posters, it's now considered "outmoded, ugly, garish, and too complicated".
So, what's the difference between consumers and enthusiasts?
And remember, 10 years ago the DSM was bashed by every consumer car magazine for having "too much understeer", "rediculous torque steer", "spacecraft looks", "impractical", "poor gas mileage" etc. etc. etc. So the car got replaced by the 3G, which is what the manufacturers, as best as they could tell, was what consumers wanted. A stable, controlled, good looking, V-6 powered car, with geomechanical design elements.
