    There’s a lot of old designs that still look better, or at least more unique then the newer stuff. Hell, even the 1997 version of the Beetle looks pretty good, but the shape became blanderized over time. Every car company is making the same car because they’re all designed by community and focus groups.

    Hell, what’s the deal with the electric Ford Mustang? It’s fine on it’s own, but it’s not even the same body as the gas Mustang of the same year. Why call it a Mustang instead of putting an EV drive train into the actual one?

    I wouldn’t own one because it doesn’t fit my lifestyle, but I know people who would love an aluminum bodied EV Beetle. I’d love an aluminum/EV version of the original DeLorean. The new ones looks too much like genetic super cars.

    Much more likely to happen though is I’m going to get an Edison conversion kit for my 80’s C10 pickup.
