Are we in the golden age of car design?

I wish they would bring back 1930's-1950's designs.

Everything looks like a hybrid station wagon/minivan so no.

nah the 30s were classy as frick

That drop top PT Cruiser tho

No cars are not art to the manufactures like they were in the 60s and prior

Starting in the late 60s, the big 3 here started using the same body styles across all their lines, and that was what I think was the beginning of the end of innovative design.

Then in the late 80s/early 90s everybody started smoothing all the angles out of body designs, like inflating a balloon that used to be an angular design. So everything turned kind of blobbish instead of something sleek with curves.

If any manufacturer had the balls to break away from what’s safe and return to a little artistry in car design, they’d sell a ton of cars and have everybody else chasing them.

No. Government mandates limit many of the designs.

its more about production cost. retooling a plant because of failed design cost millions to billions.
