Are our looks dying

I wonder if the 3rd Gen Rx7 and the supra Mk IV are going to look outdated compared to the new cars coming out. Seems like the new cars don't go for the streamline anymore. Everything is about looks and not preformance now. Sorry had to bring that up...bored on a Wed night.

They won't fit into the newest breed of designs, but I don't think they will look "old."

Most of the new cars i find now are getting more square looking with kinda that futuristic spaceship design.. i find that the mid 90's era for sports cars were the best.. well, in my opinion at least.. i don't think it'll die.. most of my friends like the mid 90's supra, rx7, etc designs over more of the modern designed cars..

I'm with ya brotha....I defiantly think the 90s era sport cars look better then anything out there today. Seems like these new concept looking cars just cut and paste from other cars. I just hope if Toyota makes a new model of the Supra, they don't ruin it like the 350 and the Rx8.

New cars look too futuristic...I however am pleased with the RX-8 and 350z designs. The only new car that I am a really big fan of is the GTI

the only car that seems to have kept some classic lines along with some horsepewer is the new Z IMHO its the only decent new midprice sportscar coming out.

Non of the CAR GUYS that I know like the edgy design. Besides, if edgy design was the best for aerodynamics, Ferrari would have adopted it a long time ago

My dad has a 1966 E-Type. He still gets questions like "Is that a new car?"

I think a truely well designed, beautiful car will stand the test of time, this is the case with the E-Type, and it will be the case with the FD

My sentiments exactly

New car styling is definately heading the wrong way as far as my tastes are concerned...with a nice body mod kit and shiny paint, the 7 is one of the beautifulest and stylish cars in the world

One of the first things I'm gonna do once I do get my FD, is head to my Dads and pose his Jag next to the FD for some pics. 2 of the best looking cars ever designed IMHO
