Default Design Symmetry

I just recently noticed that every element of the front of this car matches in general shape and style every other element--the grill, the gills, the headlamps, the rearview mirror, the hatch glass. This can't be an accident. Who does this!? Impressive.

I enjoy the shape of the rear view mirror “mirroring” the shape of the rear hatch (coupes)
a beautiful car.

The F-Type is indeed beautiful but the same can be said about (almost) every Jaguar from the inception of the marque.

Brilliant - and this was done before they introduced the (even more beautiful and cohesive) coupé! Compared to this a Porsche looks like a lump of uncooked dough (I refer to the design, not the excellent dynamic qualities of the German car).

Yeah I quite like the renders of the 2021 car but it loses some of the flow, eg the tail lights, also the headlights that currently draw your eye to the flow over the roof of the car will now be going around the side of the car which I dont really know will work as well.

Yes! I noticed this too. Also note the hood vents, the side gills and headlights are all essentially the same shape.

So true, reflecting back to how this thread started.
