Yeh I regret to say that I have heard about all this aswell. Its not as extreme (yet) as having all cars as boxes, but really its to have a bigger gap between the engine and the bonnet so in a pedestrian crash their head doesn't smash against the block.
You can't criticse the safety aspect, but then who is going to buy a box on wheels, even if it is powerful?? Lets just hope that the designers find a way around it. I think it's safe to say that we may never see another car as good looking as the DB7

Onlookers, of which there are many, seem relieved when the livid red Ferrari skims into view, happier still when they see it's driven by a friendly Italian, and not, as the thunderous sound effects suggested, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse."
