The bling is dead! Long live the bling!

Robert Farago on the death of the bling:

In the long run, urban car culture will either gradually disappear into the wider car scene, as the mainstream audience loses interest, or mutate into something new and extravagant. My money is on the latter. Now that minority buyers have found an automotive design language of their own, it’s only a matter of time before they re-invent and re-invigorate it. The sheer bravado of bling, its irresistible energy, can not, WILL not be denied.

Does that mean we'll start seeing more imaginative things that WRXs or S2000s with 20" rims soon (examples of which I've seen in the last two days)? Please, let's hope so.
