My father in law used to call the original version of the Taurus an upside down bathtub.



I used to call it the Jellybean.

I kinda liked it. It was really revolutionary at the time, in the sense that up until then, most/all sedans had angular/pointy/squared edges. Please forgive the technical lingo.

So, to me, it started the trend of rounded edges that has continued to the point that now there are many cars, such as the Toyota Camry/Lexus ES300, that have blended the headlights and side blinkers into one swooping light cluster that defies you to define where the front of the car ends and the side begins. Likewise with the rear side blinkers and taillight display. The evolution of the blob.
