Old guy-itis. My father couldn’t stand the sleeker lines of 1960’s cars. He never understood why the pregnant elephant look of 1940’s and 1950’s cars went out of style. Except for the 80’s, I think cars have just gotten better looking with each passing decade.
Some us look first at a car for its utility.
I want it comfortable, I want to be able to get in and out and not have to do a contortionist skit, and I don’t want the neighbor’s dog to be able to tear the front bumper off as happened to a police car.
Having to pay a garage $200 to replace a battery makes a car not so good looking to me despite all the flashy plastic and fake chrome.
