CHICAGO AUTO SHOW: Real Life Or Fantasy? Which Of These Two Vehicles Will Most Likely Shape Future Designs?

You notice a lot by scanning through our Chicago Auto Show Gallery. No doubt there are going to be plenty of hits and plenty of misses.  Some designs will stand the test of time and others will.... well look a bit dated.

While looking through the first images to come back from the show  I began to wonder, is it just me or is the new LF-A already looking a  bit dated?  Compare it to the Infiniti Essence Concept and you will see what I mean.  The essence is organic and free flowing where the LF-A is starting to look err a bit blocky.

Now don't get me wrong the LF-A is a hell of a car and yes I would die to have one in my garage (Yep I said that), but I can't but look at it and think vintage NSX.  Ultra cool but still not 100% the best looking design from all angles.

Let me toss in a few images here and let you see what I mean.













I realize the point is subjective, and one design is real life and the other is a styling fantasy, but I can't help and wonder it one design a glimpse to the future and the other is a glimpse to the past?

I know you will let me know!
