What happened /o/ ? Post similar pics

Most 67 impalas were slow land barge people carriers. It dropped the land barge part. The new SS is your modern Impala SS 4 door.

The impala and charger aren't as cool. The mustang, i really don't see what your deal is. It's a sports car. It looks like one. Not to mention the 2005-2014 models looked like the first gen.

besides exhaust notes, ride quality, interior, etc.

Either you're a troll or you're as shallow as the average Range Rover driver. I don't really care which it is either. Modern cars can be as good as or even better than older models, if you're not a 'beauty is skin-deep' type of moron.

>>14182709
.....you have obviously never even been to a test and tune. Obviously the ideal is to have both the vintage looks and the modern performance, but there is nothing like WOT for 1/4 mile in a faster car like a catfish camaro.

I hope you aren't talking about pic related. Doing the same style for too long gets way too played out. Also, drag coefficients are a thing. I will give you the catfish, but thr impala is boring and it knows it, nothing wrong with looking bland, and the new edge mustangs looked very sleek and aggressive but not 2010+ HURR ANGRY FACE ON EVERY CAR, and thr charger really isn't terrible, just a rounded-but-boxy style.

>Efficiency regulation has caused design changes

>Lack of getting the "okay" from anon to make sure he likes the design even though everyone else is fine with it has caused design changes

TL;DR It's not 1970 anymore and your personal opinion doesn't really matter at all to companies or designers.

please be joking, the new one is ok but nothing compared to the classic

>>14182753
The most iconic cars from the US are from a period of economic booms following WW2 when wealth was abundant and resources and services were sold far under value, otherwise such cars would've been stupidly expensive. Look what happened as soon as the economy slumped in the 70s, they tried to hold onto their car building philosophies but the products immediately turned into complete shit because they had to cheap out on things.

>>14182468
Why a new edge Mustang instead of the early 5th gen that was specifically meant to look like a first gen?

I don't think I follow, plastic has no specific shape.

That as well. But the materials and craftsmanship suffered also.
