No. Newer cars look better and perform better.
Except for those asian smart cars. Those suck.
[QUOTE=Glitch360;25970520]Wow, a lot of people here seem to be inclined toward older cars. I like cars such as BMW's, Mercedes, and Audi's, and similar car brands. But it seems like new cars get more and more absurd designs every year.
Seriously, what the fuck is this piece of shit: [media]http://www.kia-world.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/2010-nissan-cube-2.jpg[/media][/QUOTE]
Wow, I didn't realize my Milkjug on wheels analogy would come this close
Old cars did perform a lot worse in terms of gas consumption. Engines get better in terms of fuel consumption if not general performance
Modern cars will totally outdo older ones in terms of safety, performance, handling, fuel economy, etc. but they can't come close as far as looking good. Most modern cars are ugly as fuck.
I actually think that older cars were safer and performed better. A cheap car back then was a tank and could go fast, now a cheap car is an aluminum can and... can't go fast.

They couldn't go fast but they lacked seatbelts or had very weak fiber ones and extremely uncomfortable. Their fuel economy standards were also atrocious, except for Ford. Until recently, the first Model T was the most fuel efficient Ford ever produced.
And I never liked what the older models looked, they're classy but I've never been a classy guy.
Take into note that from 1960-1974 was the power age, bigger faster engines in every car, more horsepower and fuel consumption, then the emission laws came in and they couldent produce any more beasty muscle cars.
Oh and the sexiest of them all.

Remember Ferris Bueller's Day Off....my god that Ferrari was sexy.
I love older cars from the 70's and 80's. My car is a '85 Toyota Supra, looks almost exactly like this:

I love that car. Fast as fuck too.

Mine doesn't have those crappy rims though. Or the low profile tires.
I reckon most good ones were in the 80's... I like the modern styles..'
Some 50's cars looked amazing, but engines were pretty gutless back then

A car which's looks are inspired by fucking [b]sharks[/b]. Sure the brakes would be better if they were made from ice, it goes straight on whenever it meets a corner, 0-60mph isn't possible, drinks like a fish, and will kill you if you crash into a stuffed animal at 5mph. But none of that matters.
I own a Chevrolet impala 1971 myself ;)

I picked no, I just don't see the appeal with old cars.
-snip- cars are for gays and homosex.
No. I don't see anything loveable in old cars.

Just because the car is metal doesn't mean it's safer.

I have a love for both sides
Lancia would probably be the best to describe how much better older cars are
