Agreed. We have a Nissan Rogue and a Ford F-150 Crew Cab, and sometimes I walk to a different vehicle altogether when I come out of a store. There's no style or elegance to any of them anymore. It's a shame, too. I'm not ready to be put out to pasture yet, but I can remember a time when what you drove made a statement about you just from what you were sitting in. Now it's all cookie cutter. My late dad was the same way. He'd buy cars like the Olds Toronado (!) and Chrysler Town & Country wagon (and a woody, at that). Cars that were a block long, and gas prices be damned. And they were loaded. Two tone, lots of leather, every option.

You said it- It’s Amazing that when a classic car rolls into town, or down the highway- most folks oooh and awww over it and rightfully so- they were just so stylish looking- like works of art rather than carbon copies like today’s cars- I grew up in the late 60’s early 70’s and there were loads of really cool lookin vehicles around then- but today- you have to go to a car show to see anything these days-
I grew up when styling wasn’t bland and boring- I see the old style Ford Bronco has come out again- and people are flocking to buy them i hear- rightfully so- they look cool- I think a manufacturer coudl make a mint just styling a few models after the old exciting looking styles- bet they’d go like hotcakes-
