Newer designs are so radical that they don't age well. I remember being able to tell what a car was at night just from the headlight or tail light design.
Many cars from the late 1990s/early 2000s still look good if kept clean. I'm probably biased being "old school" at the ripe age of 29. I prefer mechanical feeling things and cars that have personality when you drive them. I drove a family friend's 1989 Honda Civic 5 speed last year, and was surprised how fun the car was, for what was at the time a cheap econobox. It felt solid, toss-able, and connected to the road. Driving it was an experience, I didn't even need the radio. Now you hop in any CUV with a giant ass screen and put it in "auto/eco/appliance" mode and it feels like you are on an escalator in a shopping mall with a steering wheel.

This right here. I was actually thinking the same thing on the ride into work this morning. I remember thinking years ago that everyone was trying to make their cars appearance similar to BMW and even Lexus.
Now unless it's a dedicated sports car, I can't see a difference at night.....unless it's a Dodge.
