It has been too long since I last visited.

It is clear to me that no one on this rock has the capability to design a car these days. All ugly as sin. The new actual 'vette was just unveiled and is just as bad. Yesterday, I parked in back of some butt-ugly 4-door Aston Martin. This Marque is rare in The States. I could not believe the car was permitted to leave the factory. The flattened-out rear looked like the present-generation Camaro. The rear window looked a bit like that on the Porsche 4-doors. The rest was equally unimaginative and unattractive. Anyone here remember when cars were designed by talented people? Even my cheap-o Triumph TR-7 was a looker. Just felt like venting a bit.

Completely agree. Recall a presentation recently about innovation, the speaker showed cars from 60 which showed the colour and style differences across models, then he showed a set of modern cars and they all the same in the black / grey / silver.

For mind it all went down hill early 2000s when a few automakers tried to consolidate and the styling all become blended. No surprise then that the 05 VXR is the newest car I’ve owned!
