Sorry, I don't want a car resembling something made 45years ago.

Better call the Porsche boys in Stuttgart and tell them to stop making the 911, then...And tell VW to stop making the Beetle, while you're at it...Hate cars looking like their relatively younger 25-year-old predecessor? You better start hatin' on the Mazda Miata...And the list goes on...
