What older models are better looking than the newer ones?

[RosscoPCole]

There are a few cars that I think are much better looking than their newer counterparts

Peugeot 306 especially the convertible


BMW E30 3 Series


VW Golf MkII


Toyota Yaris Mk1


SAAB 900


and controversially Fiat Multipla


Any other suggestions? I've deliberately used 'normal' cars not supercars

Jaguar XKR



Don't like the Ford Escort grill on the new XK/XKR

Mx5...

The mk1 was better looking than the mk2, which is better looking than the mk3...

The Nissan Z cars too...

The 240z was better looking than 300zx...

Oh I dunno, I reckon the 197 is a very pretty car. Unfortunately though, the 200 is absolutely hideous.

[carmonk]

Yeah, 197's nice but I'm biased IMO the 197's a tad overstated for what it is (or maybe that's because the ones I see always have daft flag patterns on the side)

I think the Mk6 Golf is less appealing than the Mk5 , especially the rear lights

Mk3 Granada Scropio - Bug eye scropio.

Bug eye = Hideous

Don't know why, I just like them (digital speedo = instant cool to a 9 year old)

Why could I see that one comming

[markoc]

How's about:

Lancia Delta - horrific abomination now wearing the "Delta" name.
Fiat 500 - New one just doesn't do it for me.
Ford Escort Mk1 - From curvy and purposeful, to boxy and wrong wheel drive.
