    As interesting as it would be if manufacturers started moving towards a more ornamental look like the Eldorado, I don't think there's any evidence whatsoever to suggest they are. Even the author states

    And where is all this creative flexibility getting us? Frankly, not very far.

    which makes me wonder, why even ask if baroque is back if you already know the answer?

    They do make a good point that the possibilities in terms of design are nearly endless right now. I'd love to see manufacturers do something a little more unique than the bog-standard squished jellybean look that's the current craze in SUVs/crossovers, because if you ask me they all look the same!
