Too much, ok to start experimenting or just a gray opinion on it?
For me, if you want to really work on futuristic designs, then first you gotta make sure the technology naturally flows, then try to also work on aerodynamics a bit
Seems like too many car manufacturers are trying to outperform in the looks department without even going for more internal factors anymore
I think, they started catering to those who have crow's taste - whatever shines is valued and, those who are tired of Lexus or Nissan type crazed outbursts.
Unfortunately, nothing inbetween.
Otherwise, with body removed, they are all pretty much same.

And how do you feel certain colors becoming more popular choices now such as solar yellow, banana yellow, dandelion, charcoal grey, destroyer grey, army green, leaf lavender, royal purple and of course, flame orange?
There will always be a trade off, between fashion on the one hand, and performance issues like aerodynamics, weight distribution, illumination, safety, and all the rest. It will be for government regulators and the marktplace to resolve, which will be done in a day-to-day basis, so "futuristic" is not yet known.

Colors are more subdued now than they were in the mid 90s. I remember the bright teal green and raspberry purple.

Sure, but mandations are becoming also less or more strictly obvious over time.

automotive design is a tricky thing these days. start with the aerodynamics. the wind tells you what works best, not the eye. the only way to truly find what works best is to get the design into the wind tunnel and see what the airflow says.
as for internal factors, i presume you are talking about power train performance. and that gets into interesting areas, including regulations and cost factors. but note that the ford ecoboost V6 today puts out more power than the boss 429 of the late 60s, while sipping fuel compared to the boss that sucks it down like its free.

Already been done.
Today, the designs are many times for the young hipster dufusses who want to look "cool".
Yet, most, if not all, who purchase these obscenely ugly vehicles do not think of themselves as a hipster dufuss.
