is there a worse stretch of automotive designs for entry level shitboxes than mid-late 2000s?
>shit engines
>shit fuel economy
>re-doing 90s aesthetic for SAFETY PLASTIC EVERYWHERE
>cheap interiors
>BLACK AND PLASTIC
>every single piece has a certain give to it, nothing fits
>even optioned out they're cheap
anyone who says modern cars are shit has never had to daily these autos, I would kill to have the nicer interiors that come regularly in every shitbox, as well as alloys, and other features

you picked a bad example, those cars get like 40mpg and can be made fast for cheap

Try late 70s.

that's moving the goal posts.
There are many classic cars worth keeping that were regular old shitboxes back then.
nobody is preserving or coveting a 2005 civic

You know, as bad as modern shitbox rentals are, they do make the ones from a decade ago seem awkward and embarrassing by comparison.

We are currently in the worst phase.

How is that shifting goalposts? Who, exactly, is preserving the Chevettes and Pintos of the world? the Dodge Aspens? There are plenty of 70s shitboxes which aren't highly regarded as classic cars.

Just think. 10 years from now when cars have been outlawed and destroyed, your local car show will have a pristine Kia Rio so people can remember what cars used to be like.
