Boy, it sounds like someone is stuck in the past. Don't worry, it happens to all of us. For example, I love the classic styling of the late 80s Mustang LX Notch backs (sedans). Those are sweet! Now the later Mustangs are just eh to me. Of course this isn't the same for others but that's my favorite. I guess what I'm suggesting is you found something you liked and you're judging the rest based on the one you like instead of going with the flow and embracing new technology and styling.
And DrPete, I think you meant: "Mmmmm.... Pin...."
