Flat panels suck for resistance to bending, the compound curves and folds pressed into most car panels give them more rigidity

If only someone had figured that out in the last 120 years. Oh wait...

What’s funny to me is how fast the Korean car companies learned “metal bending.” They went from generic easy shapes with little forming to adding in creases all over the damn car just to prove they could do it and replicate it, and they did that in the span of a couple decades at the most.
