I prefer the old mini to the new.The new isnt really mini.
I prefer the old beetle to the new.
I prefer the old Fiat 500 to the new although the new shape is quite nice. I wonder why manufacturers are revamping cult cars.
What next the Austin seven and the Marina...............the mind boggles.
What car would you like to see revamped.

Mind you I suppose manufacturers have Finlay realised new car designs? are as inspiration as a pot of clear paint.

The BMW Rover 75 was not as good as the original Rover Co P3 and P4's
