It's a trade off, I guess. I think cars from the 1930's to early 1970's were much better looking. But there are some definite advantages to the way cars are made today. They have a hell of a lot more safety features, as willravel pointed out. They're also more comfortable, get better gas mileage, create less pollution and frequently offer better performance. We now have four and six cylinder engines that out-perform the V8's of old. And today's "muscle cars" would blow the doors off of most cars made a few decades ago. Hell; my parents Toyota Solara is probably faster than many 1960's muscle cars.
