What I mean is every style has its own years, baroque was nice style but it would be lame to build baroque style buildings in this time.
Tacky or kitsch are the words in these kind of situations. :2 cents:

I disagree.

I drive a Prowler. Which is a modern car designed to look like an old hot rod.

I love the way it looks and everywhere I go people want to come over and talk about it and little kids come running to see it.

Some car designs are "timeless". I'd much rather drive one of the new Mustangs that look like a Mach 1 than to drive one of the "box" versions that came just before it.

I love big curves on a car and aggressive styling...and some of those classic cars had it perfected by some of the best coach design people in the business.
Obviously I'm not alone in my love of the way that classic cars looked. The sales numbers for the "new" versions of the muscle cars pretty much speak for themselves.

hey Robbie, do you know if they plan to stick with these body styles and just tweak them a la corvette going forward?

Looks like a Camaro on crack.

Yeah, but the Camaro was lame and the Trans Am was freaking cool.

It's very similar to the difference between a Capri and Mustang. One was cool, one was not.

I had two mid 1970 Camaros growing up. They were freaking boats!

My first car was an '87 Firebird.... my first Trans Am was 1991.

And yes for anyone who didn't know, the new Trans-Ams are actually Camaro's with after-market parts. But then again, Firebird/Trans Ams and Camaros were always exactly the same car underneath, with different body panels and styling.

I don't know.

I'm still waiting for the "new" Corvette Stingray to come out. :)

Love the bird on the hood. Major nostalgia there. But the hood is way too stumpy. They missed the lines, unfortunately.
