2016 Volvo XC90 turn signal fail. Also goes for looks vs safety:

"The Audi influence is most apparent out back where U.S.-bound models get red turn signals instead of the amber blinkers found on the European model. While Audi supposedly makes the amber-to-red change because the amber lamps from the EU don’t cover enough surface area, Volvo’s switch is purely aesthetic."

It is astonishing that so many manufacturers are opting for "aesthetics" vs safety (DOT proven) for rear turn signals.
