nice thumbnail, dickhead. how in the fuck does that look like anything made today?

>he can't tell what car it is from the thumbnail.

Are you visually impaired or just car illiterate? Or are you posting from your phone?

You are right, though. The car doesn't look modern at all.

>>15746692
I'm posting from phone and even j can see that it is corvette

>>15746692
I can tell it is a miura, but this image board would be pretty shit if everyone was posting 200x200 pictures wouldn't

Thats not a corvette its a 69 lamborghini miura

this gen started 1998

>>15746692
That's a gorgeous Chevelle!

>>15746719
...............................1998 wasn't that fucking long ago. As far as design trends are concerned, we're more or less still in the same aesthetic generation.

>>15746731
still looks like a 2010+ car

>>15746719
God I hate that gen of the TT, looked old 3 years after it came out
a 1999 RX-7 or S2000 looks 10x more modern than that thing

>>15746737
You're right. It still looks contemporary and fresh.

>>15746855
fuck you faggot. everything modern is sharp lines, aggressive shapes and fuck-huge grills and features. minimalist melted soap bars with ricer wings do not look modern and it shows painfully. you're fucking delusional if you think otherwise

thats not to say they're bad looking, becasue they're not, but they absolutely do not look modern in any way

>>15746856
...............Bro, American auto has been in design crisis since the 80s. Stop trying to drag down the rest of the world with our creative abortions from the 90s.

>>15746865
Yikes, i think what you're having difficulty with is the language and how its employed in this context. You seem to be using the word modern as direct synonym for contemporary. Contemporary is all the design nonsense we're seeing today and this year (the current RAV4 and everything made by Lexus and Acura being the most horrifying), but you'll have a hard time arguing that the RX7's designed is anyway dated, despite openly showing it's 90's-sports-car design language, (>>15746760) it wouldn't look out of place were it released today.

>>15746865
Styling memes come and go, normal people don't look at big grilles and sharp lines and say "gee how modern"

>>15746887
>>15746920
Exactly. There are fads, and there are ageless fundamentals.

>>15746887
Even with you 'clarifying' your use of terms i still have a hard time seeing how on earth an rx7 wouldnt stick out like a sore thumb on any car lot these days

>>15746947

>>15746947
There's a thing called timeless design. Yes, manufacturing techniques and certain technology advances like lights, window seals etc will give the age away, but the point is if it was made today it could do and have barely any changes.

>>15746972
PRECISELY. Look at the AMG GTS, The Maserati GT, the BMW Z4 and you'll notice a certain distinct profile...a "sports-car silhouette" that has always been, and looking at the 90s, the FD is the one product that exemplifies it.

>>15746860
At least in US most cars are considered classics after 25 years old

>>15746731

98, 18 years ago.. not long ago.


Almost 20 years is a long time bro.

>>15746996
While i kinda see it, it'll be hard to argue this one as it's too fat-n-curvy in a uniquely nineties way.

What really gives it away on these older cars are the stock wheels. None of them look good, they just look like generic hub caps.

>>15746995
But the Z4 is more influenced by contemporary design trends where as the FD RX7 was influenced by classic themes.
The Mclaren F1 was another car that was styled along classic lines. Styling wise it would be more of a mid range sports car like the R8 nowadays, the hypecar game has moved on a lot.

>>15747050
not him, but the Z4 is definitely an obvious homage to the roadsters of old. Just look at it from the side m8.

>>15746760
>>15746760
FUCK

I can't stop wanting an FD so bad now, hnng. That has to be the most beautiful car ever to come out of Japan.

>>15747070
I'm not talking about the silhouette, more the surfacing and detailing.

Sheeit. That had to be pretty out there for 1999.

>>15747188
I've asked some non-car people how old they thought clean various early 2000s BMWs looked, and they always got it just about right. They look good, but are clearly a product of their time.

>>15746719
You are the biggest shill out there for the TT.
The TT is, and always has been an ugly POS. It never looked new. Audi really sucked in the design department in the 90's and 00's.
No one sees that and thinks that could be a 2010.
They see it and think it's a 98
