Some things are best left original on Flickr.Via Flickr:
No matter how much you attempt to pay homage to the original by basing the design on the original because the bean counters are so obsessed with past glories (as opposed to coming up with an all-original design like the previous four generations), the 5th gen will never better the original. I am just stating what is so wrong with modern car designs, its like innovation has became extinct that designers have to rip off old designs. No wonder why Dante Giacosa (Fiat 500), Alec Issigonis (Mini), L. David Ash (Ford Mustang) are rolling in their graves, I could mention many more designers such as Marcello Gandini and Giorgetto Giugiaro (both for Lamborghini Miura) and Eric Broadley (Ford GT40) but they are still alive and well.
