Why do new cars look so ugly?
I can understand aerodynamics and being cheap about it and such, but by god do new cars look ugly. It's like every car that I see, the makers seem like they want to make the car look pissed off with those cheap plastic headlights that go from the grill to the windshield. And on top of that, everything looks like an egg; no solid lines. And to make things worse, there's no chrome anywhere, just plastic, aluminum, and more plastic… Japan, Europe, and America seem to match this description pretty fairly because every car that they make has these things(every time as if, almost)
It seems like as the decades go on, cars seem to favor mothers who have children. Those odd looking SUV's that I laugh when I see one on the road(the Kia's, Honda's, Hyundai's, Honda's, Chevrolet's, Ford's, Chrysler's, etc.) seem to be what the rage is(Typical for the decade). I'd rather it be the 20's-60's where no seat belts exist and shiny polished white-wall rim tired cars where the talk of the town. So much better. No electric windows that will short out and you have to tear the door off to fix it, no automatic transmissions for lazy people, no touch-to-open tailgates with your foot nonsense, no cheaply made anything. Just good old fashion classy cars that where made with pride, care, and appreciation, and they will last a long time for many people to enjoy.
You won't see any of that today… Sadly… 
That's your opinion, the good news is you can always purchase a vintage looking car!
Sadly, cars have become less and less classy and more and more utilitarian. Gone are the hood ornaments, the vinyl roofs, the shiny chrome. I feel ya. Especially when it comes to those stupid government-subsidized "smart" cars.
- Why would people buy older foreign cars instead of brand new American cars? I see it all the time, people driving 7-8 year old Mercedes or BMWs that they paid probably paid around $20,000. They could of easily gone out and bought a brand new Ford or Dodge, but they didn't. They bought a Mercedes with over 100k miles. All worn and torn on the inside. But aslong as they're shining on the outside I guess.
- Why don't American cars last as long as Japanese cars? My family has owned a Ford Taurus and a Nissan Altima of similar model years. Both cars are still running, but the Taurus has very low mileage (it's a 1999 with only 85,000 miles) and the interior is in horrible condition and the plastics Ford put in have been known for breaking. None of this has happened with the Altima, even though it has more miles. Why?
- Why are some Ford cars (like the Taurus and Focus) such unreliable cars? I'm looking at cars in the $3000 - $4500 range and I'm noticing a decent amount of Ford Taurus's and Focus's and out of all the cars that I see, these are two cars that just seem so unreliable. I test drove a Focus last year and it sounded like something was wrong with the engine.
- Kavanaugh could have his pick of the litter when it came to women, why would he choose ugly duckling Christine Ford? He wasn't that desperate. He was in the "in" crowd. Women loved him. It doesn't add up. is this a fantasy of Christine Ford? Seems like it.
