Why can't they make cool looking sedans like that nowadays?

[InfiniteMushroom]

Cool looking cars will never be built again. Focus groups and social engineers don't want the automobile to tap into the parts of the ego that appreciate visual balance, speed, sexual appeal, prosperity, sleekness, and visual cues that are uniquely American.

For many years now, cars have been visually dissonant on purpose. Dumpy lines designed to suppress all masculine and feminine ego stimuli that cars once evoked. Cars today look like parked appliances, regardless of how fast they're going

I remember my father buying our 1972 Dodge Polara(sister car of the Monaco) brand new back in 72 when I was 5. We still had that car in the early 80's and it eventually became my car in High School.It would hold 6 or 7 teenagers easily and we would pack in and blast around with the smallblock Chrysler 360 CI V8 under the hood. After I graduated in 1985 we sold it for 500 bucks. By then it had just over 100,000 miles which was a LOT back then.Great car! They don't make em like that anymore.

Thank You For Replying; In Junior High School, I rejected 'Golf' after one boring lesson, instead, began archery lessons. Archery, in a legal emergency only, has the ability to get food, and is a quiet defense weapon, and 'golf' doesn't. Although, for some, 'golf' is quite meaningful, perhaps it's the clothing which causes the inappropriate laughter, that caused the turning away from 'golf', or perhaps it was Mark Twain's quote about 'a good walk spoiled'.

Cheers!
