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.
