The manufacturers are trying to attract the dollars of the 40-50 year old buyers with the retro designs. Cars for guys who couldn't afford them in their twenties, but now that they're financially established or in the mid-life-crisis-zone, they can shell out the bucks for a toy that reminds them of their youth and the cars they fapped to in Hot Rod magazine.

Incorrect, and I like classic muscle cars. Moreover, I doubt consumers in that age range are the target audience. Those folks would probably rather have a classic muscle car restored too.
Now if you like it, that's fine, but adopting design cues from 40 years ago in a modern car can in no way be considered a step forward. The previous generation Camaro, Firebird and Mustang were all taking on a modern shape, and then suddenly it's as if we've wound up in a parallel universe where none of that ever happened.
Hint: You don't have to build cars anymore that are as big as boats and weigh in at 4K lbs. And yet, they do.
Not my thing.
What's next? Something that looks like a model T? |
