Why are there no interesting cars anymore?

bigfreddiel

All cars look the same these days, are huge people carriers, and are so boring in style.

So who can suggest an interesting reasonably priced car, no more than £15k, but preferably less, much less!

i love the chrysler 300 but each to their own, what is interesting to some isnt to others.

fiat multipla?

If you're referring to styling rather than performance then I tend to agree with you. The fashion for big 4x4s is, however, showing slight signs of fading as the Jukes, QashKais etc move in (demonstrating that it's possible simultaneously to be high off the ground and yet squashed in appearance). Never mind, there's always the Mini and the Fiat 500.

Apart from sports cars and super cars, cars were never very interesting, as we get older we look back on some cars from our younger days through rose tinted specs. They were designed and built with the technology and thinking of the time and by today's standards you average family car was pretty awful when it came to safety, performance, economy and comfort. Cars these days do not always look the same, often cars aimed at certain markets follow similar design criteria but that's really always been the case for mass produced 'ordinary' cars.

Mini Cooper Coupe - I have one, great car, nice styling, not to everyone's taste, good value, reminds me of my MG Midget I had in the '70s

Sorry, all the same, just look at the Focus and the new Fiesta! Virtually identical

I always liked a car with pop up headlamps, shame they don't make them any more.
