“Style” is an interesting and deceptively complicated word. It means different things to different people, and we don’t even all agree on whether it’s a good or bad thing. Thomas Jefferson seemed to think it a lightweight and transient affair. “In matters of style, swim with the current,” he wrote. “In matters of principle, stand like a rock.” Gustave Flaubert, the French novelist, appeared to take it much more seriously. “One arrives at style only with atrocious effort, with fanatical and devoted stubbornness,” he wrote.

Twentieth-century driving comfort was a close relative of twentieth century space capsule comfort. And only a little safer. Well into the automobile’s second century, manufacturers have made cars vastly more comfortable, even for long-distance travel. Seats—at least the front seats—are now sculpted to cradle the human back and buns much more respectfully. Cabins are vastly quieter.
