TRENDSETTI­NG FEATURE CARS

Setting trends is a subjective subject, as the reality is that ideas get passed around all over the show, and establishi­ng who really came up with them to start with is pretty damn hard to quantify. Of course, every idea is a derivative of another idea and, most likely, these days, with the way of the world, is sourced overseas via the internet. But then, just because cars are similar, doesn’t mean they’re copied, as there’s always natural progressio­n. For better or for worse, here are the cars that, in our collective opinion at least, have set the trends that locals have followed. It doesn’t mean they’ve been the best, it doesn’t mean they’ve been the most innovative, nor does it imply any other form of praise — it’s just that people have liked them enough to say, “Hell yeah, I’m copying that!”
