    Talking People Love Angry-Faced Cars

    People Love Angry-Faced Cars

    If a Toyota Prius just looks too friendly for your tastes, you’re not alone. People readily see faces and traits in cars, and a new study suggests that they prefer cars to appear dominant, masculine and angry.
    The finding rests on the propensity we have to actually see faces or human characteristics in everything from cars to clouds, a phenomenon called pareidolia.

    I used to like making out faces in cars when I was young. I do see faces everywhere. Bathtubs make interesting faces.
