Why do all cars look similar/same/cloned now?

To take part of the response,...yes I got my license in '64. I agree... to me the early cars of the 30', 40's were in general not anywhere near style wise what the cars were of the 50's, 60's,70's,..Those later ones are the cars I mentioned as to what people waited eagerly to see in the fall. Now take a 32 Ford and make a rod out of it, then I beg to differ!!

I admit to being an old fart. 70. I do not see many cars built today that have any styling, just a vary, vary few. Car companies work long and hard to put more "technology" in them for the sake of higher prices, and meeting the demands of modern buyers. ie... Your generation an later.... I am not a modern buyer!!!!! I could not afford one, an IF I had that kind of money, it sure as hell would not go for a new car!!!

I'm only a couple years younger than you and I agree today's cars (or at least the majority) all kind of look alike, are really ugly or both. Even the new Jeeps look like some Japanese minivan. Not that a new car is in the budget anyway...
Agree that all the government-mandated safety crap is taking all the fun out of driving.

One "feature" of new cars (and trucks/SUVs) I rather dislike (and that no one's mentioned yet) is the huge consoles they're putting in them. Makes the interiors feel claustrophobic. Most don't really serve any purpose as far as I can see, they just take up a lot of space.
I don't think you can even get a truck with a bench seat anymore.
