Great cars, they have a cult following, and good ones demand big money now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm suprised if I wake up every morning and I can see why manufacturers would copy a winning formula they all have similar styling cues I suppose what is sexy sells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 Still happens today I guess, angular lines seem to be the fashion, manufacturers like BMW and Audi bring out a new model/incarnation and many other manufacturers follow suit. Few modern affordable cars have any 'soul' now though - there are maybe a couple (although I'm struggling to think of one lol) but sadly they're the exception rather than the rule. Suppose that's why we're all sticking with our 20+ year old cars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
