I'm not going to get into the political debate around regulation, but I don't agree that it's a "free market" when it comes to brake lamps. A given car comes with one design. Maybe if you're lucky there's a slightly different version for one of the trim levels (e.g. hybrid).
Styling is highly subjective, but lights and indicators are safety items first and foremost. I think too many design studios are forgetting that.
So you support going back to 7" sealed beams as well?
