Classic v. Concept.

Which is better overall in your opinion?

I personally like the new concept cars that are coming out now and are being showcased on TV. I like how engineers and designers come out with more dynamic and economical designs. Plus they look really cool.

hmmm... some concept cars look strange... some are ok though. I'm not a big fan of old muscle cars so it'll have to be other...

Yeah, some concept cars do look strange, but the ones that don't are actually quite neat, no?
But imagine a world filled with these concepts, then it would just be 'normalcy'...

So, Clyde, you're more into the contemporary ones, like cars in the same league as your car?

Well according to the poll, I voted classic over concept because I have a strong dislike to the way most modern cars look.

That said, while I do appreciate old-school Detroit iron, my favorite cars are the imports that came in between the 70s and 80s. Like the Datsun 510 and 240Z, and just about every Civic and Accord hatch Honda has put out since they started making cars until about the year 2000.

Edit:
For some reason I didn't think to click the "Other" option on the poll. Ooops.

I like concept cars more. I'm always interested on what new model are they coming out from each company.

I'm a fan of the new generation of cars. The only new car I hate is the Toyota Camary. I like 2002-2006 model a lot better. I do like the new model for the Honda accord though. Honda always had nice looking cars.

Yah, it's fun imagining what designers are coming up with for cars.
Now they're becoming more fuel-efficient, have unique --- if sometimes weird --- designs.

I saw this one car that looked like an egg and was named after an egg.
XD

Also, some are getting pretty innovative, so it's fun seeing what they look like really. The cars of the future look kinda cool.

I'm pretty heavily rooted in my muscle cars. I'm a big fan of the classic mustangs. You can do so much more work on them yourself, and things were simple back then. When I go to the drag strips all the ridiculously fast cars making like 9 second runs down the 1/4 mile are all older muscle cars because those are the ones that are old enough to where the smog laws aren't restricting what you can put on them, take off, etc. I know all the smogging laws are there to keep our cars running cleaner and more efficient. That's cool, and it's good. But it sure does blow from a completely recreational standpoint.
