The “Silver Jumpsuit”

There are plenty of scifi tv shows and movies that portray a future with everyone wearing the same clothing. Usually this clothing is a jumpsuit and that is where the idea of the “Silver Jumpsuit” comes from.

With all the variations of gadget design’s and styles of clothing it seems imposable to think that we will ever be in a time where the “Silver Jumpsuit” will be the norm. However, I have been noticing that in regards to cars it seems like more and more car manufacturers are just copying each other and designing the same car.

The new Honda Accord for instance looks great but I can see parts of Acura, BMW, and Mercedes designs all reflected in the design. I am noticing the same issue with Hyundai’s new vehicles as well. Chevy and Ford’s cars are beginning to follow the same design ideas as the Honda, Hyundai, Acura, BMW, and Mercedes.

Volvo and Audi are preserving their uniqueness rather well at the moment but it makes me wonder how much longer they will hold off of becoming more like the rest of the pack.

If things continue like this we are looking to a future where the thrills of car spotting and driving would be gone and we would all be in “Silver Jumpsuits”. I would hate this because I would look like an idiot in a silver jumpsuit plus I am a huge car fan and I love to see new and unique designs for cars. I can only hope that some of the cool concept cars these companies are creating actually become real cars and that they dont all use the same designer for those either.

    Great post!!! I love Volvo!!! They seam to be one of the few car makers left that can make a car that is classy, sporty and sexy. I hope that they will get the S60 concept on the market soon. I would hate the idea of the silver jumpsuit I guess you would need to be advanced in age to appreciate them…
