Oh yeah - back when cars had style. Long before they all morphed into the "everypod" that they've become. I understand the need for aerodynamics, drag coefficients, fuel economy, etc - but along with those things, the car companies also moved into an area where they tried to make the cars appeal to as many buyers as possible. They did that by taking away any strong lines or styling cues. We're left with nothing but Accords, Fusions, and Impalas. There's been a slight - slight - move away from that in recent years, but really only with the higher end cars.

I kinda dig the new Chrysler 300s. They have a sort of comic book feel to them. Thick body with a throwback to the 50s chopped roof look. Something a cop would get out of and yell up to a building - "come out with your hands up, Lefty, we've got you surrounded".

*sorry, back to dream vehicles*

I'll work up a list soon.
