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.

I would take a land barge over that ugly piece of shit
>>14182463
are you blind or just retarded?
>>14182493
I can see these atrocious aspect ratios so I can assure you Im not blind
I dont think old pieces of shit are better than newer cars so Im not retarded either

/o/ actually thinks these pieces of junk are better than the classics, rest in piece /o/ no wonder no one comes to this shit board
>>14182582
you're a moron.
>>14182582
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.

Go tell me more about your rusted out 71 Camaro shell is worth $13,000 then bitch millennials for random reasons.

Doesn't matter when the new wrx is complete pigfat and has the worst visibility of any car in history
>>14182607
That goes to the camaro
>>14182452
Uh, no? The 2002 WRX has 227hp and the 2016 has 268.
>>14182597
rather have a shell than this pos
>>14182633
>I judge cars solely by appearance
please do me a favor and lurk more.
Also, actually do fucking research on cars.
>>14182643
who even cares about anything else other than looks? No chick is gonna be like "dam look at that sick turbo" lmfao u fags
Buzzed Boomer OP who just learned MS Paint ITT.
>>14182664
I fucking love that car
those 2 idiots show that you can do anything with cars if you disregard safety and laws.
>>14182468
Oh, clearance, how we hardly knew ye.
>>14182664
Well if we had any doubt this guy was retarded this should clear that up
>>14182674
that car is so fucking perfect, its just doesnt give a fuck, even the grill is made out of chicken wire and it looks mean as
>>14182679
If I had the spare time and money, I would love a old charger or some other piece of shit to beat on.
I just end up having the money or the time, neither both.
>>14182664
Last I checked we were here because we enjoyed driving cars.
>>14182633
You'd rather have a shell than a car that runs 13s stock?
>>14182694
where da fuk did you 'check' that from?
>>14182700
Because this is /o/ and not a stance facebook group.
>>14182697
do you honestly care about times? god thats pathetic
>>14182664
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.
>>14182435
the hd remake always fucking sucks
>muh wallowing barges with a top speed of 120 even though they have 400 hp
>>14182741
sure performance has gone up but did the engineers go blind when they designed them?
>>14182753
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.

>Safety regulation has caused design changes
>Efficiency regulation has caused design changes
>Technology and features have caused design changes
>Demand for innovation 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.
>>14182771
no way pic related is a sex on wheels
Wait a second
>>14182791
Then why do you not like, say, the New Edge SN95 mustangs?
>>14182805
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?
>>14182808
looks like a piece of plastic trying to be a hotwheel
>>14182812
>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 reduce fuel consumption.
FIFY
>>14182822
I don't think I follow, plastic has no specific shape.
>>14182843
That as well. But the materials and craftsmanship suffered also.

That's a pretty nice building. I see they had to paint it after 30 years though.

From a fun and cute little car to an angry, soulless appliance shitbox.

It's like a before and after photo of a lobotomy patient.

>angry
If anything it looks smug compared to the joy of the original Twingo.
>>14183434
I meant the 2nd gen. The 3rd gen is decent mainly thanks to the RR layout

In a thread about the deterioration of style, you're upset that people make judgments based on style.
Remove the stick from your bleeding, teenage anus.

>materials and craftsmanship
lolno. even nostalgic baby boomers will admit most american cars in the 50s-60s were crap and were basically disposable.
you only get got fine materials and craftsmanship if you bought a Buick, Lincoln or Cadillac

Barring that everything after that isn't even that bad.
Except the fact that it's 4 door it stays pretty true to the idea behind a muscle car.
