its hard to say. like for examplee, f-bodies. i like the 1st and last generations best. dont know which i like better. i love them both. for a pure, show car/ cruiser… i’ll take the 1st gen. for performance driving / more of a do-it-all car, i’ll take the 4thgen ---

old is better. The newest mustang is very nicely styled but i’m sick of plasticized cars from the interior to the outside. I miss chrome and i hate ergonomically designed cockpits. As far as F-body i love 3rd gen camaro convertibles. ---

old\>new i know the new cars are faster, handle better, get more MPG, etc… I can’t put it into words, but there is just something about driving old cars that is more fun than new ones. :dunno: ---

i agree with 77rednecktruck i like the old muscle better its just something about a 69 camaro a 71 cuda or an original shelby cobra that makes my head turn i think cars today have too much paint there needs to be more chrome to make them stand out in the parking lot everything just blends together ---

Maybe because I grew up pretty much with the fourth gen I’m partial to the fourth gen F-bodies. This said Nothing beats the looks of the late 2nd gen IMO, or just the just sheer impression for the lack of a better word when a clean one rolls by. ---
