And, although it's possibly no business of the stylist, it also needs great technical sophistication. Tatra cars were not gimmicky: they were rational designs, taking particular aesthetic routes for a reason. (Maybe the slightly mad 603 is an exception to this rule.) Yes, Jelinek has taken styling cues from the past, but he doesn't seem to have created anything very useful with them. Like a lot of show cars, this thing seems to have been styled principally to have leggy models draped over it. As to the shut-lines, these are pretty harmonious compared with some of Marcello Gandini's cars. Gandini has always used shut-lines quite provocatively to create tension in a design. Obviously, whether you like the results or not is another matter.
