I think its signed by Luigi Colani? Anyways its pretty interesting to read. One thing they said was that automobile manufacturers headlights/front end all look the same. Wonder what they would say now!

Yeah, I remember that line of reasoning. All cars were going to be slaves to aerodynamics and have the same basic shape for the headlights and hood. What's Car Styling? A Canadian magazine?

It's a Japanese publication. There's a lot of coverage of Japanese domestic market cars, as well as a lot of European cars. They usually show lots of conceptual and pre-production sketches of the cars they feature. It's a cool magazine, but, it's very expensive.

First time ive seen it myself, pretty cool stuff in there. Its a quarterly publication and it looks like a car book-not a magazine.
This one had an article on a citroen and i think the mazda 929, except they call it Luce over there.

Hang on to that magazine. Luigi Colani has done some pretty whacky design stuff.
The man.

And almost all cars have higher butt today due to aerodynamic reason.
