CannaeDrive 3,412 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 When 46-year-old chief designer Shunsaku Kodama was honored with overseeing Toyota’s hugely important 2016 Prius redesign, he mixed human elements, techie features, and was inspired by Lady Gaga. “There were very high expectations for the Prius,” said Kodama of his first assignment overseeing a revised nameplate to Automotive News. “As a concept, we were thinking Lady Gaga. We wanted to be more extreme in our design.” The Prius is now extreme, though after input from others, the end result has been seen as polarizing between those who like it, and others who have bluntly and frankly said they do not. Practical elements in the more edgy and angular presentation we now know as the 2016 Prius included retaining enough familiarity and design continuity with what has been called, as has Lady Gaga, an “icon.” The Prius since its 1997 Japanese debut was perceived with each new generation as less exciting, according to internal studies done by Toyota. The new 2016 aims to fix that, and here’s where Lady Gaga’s in-your-face ethos was “channeled,” said Automotive News. Beyond the outlandish star who may also have her detractors, merged into the design was an “organic” and “humanistic” feel along with perceptibly futuristic features. Like Lady Gaga, the car is different, and certainly does stand out against a sea of me-too designs. ....

Ray of Light 8,134 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 WHO ELSE but the music is a medium of transportation to confidence and self-esteem, halfway between fantasy and reality motorcycle-metaphor ICON. Your fave may be breaking decade old music records everyone deemed untamable, but will she inspire car designs? I think not! Say no to gas-guzzelers!
