Those are the shapes which are most likely to get the man on the street to say "that looks like a Lamborghini".This is decidedly sharp-edged design.It may be that Donkerwolke is trying to carry that idiom forward.I don"t think he"s doing it with great success if so, but that might explain his thinking. I recall a quote from someone at Lambo or Audi not long after the acquisition to the effect that they were using the LP400 as their reference point moving forward.And while I look at the LP400 and see curves and trapezoids working well together, I can understand why others might see mostly angles and edges.
