Love or despise them, our attitude to cars is contradictory: our attachment to and revulsion of automobiles arises in equal measure across the world and throughout history. Our relationship with the car has always been intimately connected with design and this book examines this complex and persistent bond. If many people today feel that our connection with cars is a vice, how then does this manifest itself in the design of the cars we buy or use? This book shows how and why the automobile has evolved since the late nineteenth century, becoming an object of unparalleled popular desire as well as the problem child of the modern world.
