New cars are so Ugly

[CrusherCurtis]

A3, subaru, merc, cts, all tasteless

Chances are.. if you own an e30 you're a broke ass college student.

Not me. I can afford a much newer/nicer car, but as I've been telling my buddy for a while now, THERE'S IS NO CAR IN THE WORLD THAT I WOULD TRADE MY E30 FOR. If someone were to offer my any car in the world (but stipulate that I couldn't sell it) nothing else would do. No Italia, SLS, Z8, 8c, Ford GT, GT2 would do. I would keep my e30. With the E30 its all love no status.

I kind of agree. The new audis are awesome - and I love the latest z4. Having that said I'd take a stock 1600 over any of them.

I'mma just leave my S12 sig here.
It's a BOX, and still looks better than most newer cars.

a-fucking-men, i think e46s and e39s are nice though

i did't say i didn't like ALL cars after 95' there a few i like and a bunch idon't mind , E39, E46, Z8. and a few cars from other makes, but by choice ill never own any of them.

I once had a E53 X5. being form the same time period as E39, E46 it was very simular to E39/46 in materials, styling, and equipment. it was nice, but i couldn't stand the traction control, ABS, and it was difficult to see out of. it turned me off to cars of that era and newer.

never again though, newest BMW ill ever buy is a late model E34 540i or M5.

[VinniE30]

I approve of this thread.
New cars FTL.

[freeride53]

I'd drive a new BMW any day...all nice and cozy and shit.

[DuMa]

i used to think so until i saw the GT86\BRZ\FRS

[Nairb]

Most, yes. But..










I think that there are more nice/pretty NEW cars on the road today than there were 10 years ago. Also, keep in mind.. there have been hundreds of car models that are littered in junkyards everywhere that you've probably never heard of.

I think the difference between the "ugly" cars and the "OMG AEWSUM" cars is the affordability. Chances are.. if you own an e30 you're a broke ass college student.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't love this car


But then I look at this...


Old cars, nostalgia, taste and class.

[45lbPlate]

Yeah I second the e46 and although it feels like a pig compared to an e30, the e46 still feels light and nimble compared to the newest models. Also, I think the e46 was the last model where you could get a sport package without staggered wheels...at least thats how it was on the sedans during the early production years that I owned. Having 225/17 all around contributed to the handling balance and helped that car dance around a bit despite its extra weight.

Brezzi you da man!

Definitely watching cars get bigger every year as I grew up was a sore sight. And all we get in this "fuel crisis" is god damned hybrids! I almost got crushed by a hybrid Silverado the other day, huge and quite as a mouse, that shit just isn't right. Would've died without a clue.

[CrusherCurtis]

I do agree but some newer cars do look pretty good. Alfa romeo 8c, Ford GT, BMW Z8, even Dodge Challenger, just to name a few. Granted the last 3 are retro, I think the alfa is just on of the most beautiful cars I've seen. Its no 250 GTO, but its just so full of emotion:

[davem]

nope. massive roof pillars, bloated styling, increasing weight, young hipster designers that havent got the slightest bit of taste for good conservative, classy design. must every new car look like a running shoe? ugly dashboards with abstract shaped air vents? what was wrong with rectangle ones?

youll never see me in a car newer than 1995.

a-fucking-men, i think e46s and e39s are nice though

[Cliche Guevara]

I support everything said in this thread

I think most people on this forum do. It's not just safety regulations that are killing looks, it's the damned race to the biggest car. The E90 was fucking huge and the new F30 is even bigger!

[Brezzi]

Who needs all the new safety bullshit, I would rather die in a beautiful machine, then become paraplegic in an ugly pile of plastic and electronic junk.

new sig in fact
