Why did the 80s have the best car design of all time?

why did the 80s have the best car design of all time?

>snap oversteer
>great design
Kill yourself in the next corner.

because the safety regulations were much less severe so you could make whatever the fuck you want

hell, regulations actually made the cars even cooler, they led to development of fucking pop-up headlights after all

next question

>posts an ugly chink piece of shit

>diesel fiat

>FIAT

Being born in the 80s and growing up in the 90s I truly thought the boxy designs of the 80s and semi-boxy-sort-of-smooth designs of the 90s were terrible and the complete opposite of timeless design. Something I would never, ever see the appeal of.

Now suddenly over the last couple of years I think they look great. Am I the only one that has experienced this?

Why is rimming Jay Leno the best thing of all time.

Because you will never be able to rim THAT BOIIIII

Not the only one senpai, you come to appreciate the simpler designs instead of sharp looking artistic trash(modern day Nissan).

Because 90's isn't old enough to be cool yet.

Same.
I used to hate 80's music, ugly 80's boxy cars, vomit inducing 80's color scheme and those shitty 60's "lolsoretro" soviet glasses I had at kindergarden and school.

Now I like them all.

It's a thing. Pop culture is driven by nostalgia, world has gotten into a loop where the western pop culture keeps repeating itself. 90's shit will be in fashion soon and then 00's shit and so on.
It's about forgetting what we hate about it and getting a fresh look when we're not surrounded by that era anymore and we can choose what to look at.

It's not the car design only, everything was excellent.

becuase of the manufacturing techniques, too many curves wasn't possible. and i don't even think you can make 80s grade plastics these days.
look at 80s electronic equipment

the 80s were literally the ugliest decade of auto design

easiest ways to spot a pleb

even worse if they like cringewave music

its because your jumping on bandwagons

Toyota.

MKII Supra, MR2 AW11, AE86.

It doesn't get better than that.

The fucking 2000's existed, m8. You want ugly, that's fucking it. No interesting features at the fuck all, not even the clean and sharp lines the 80s rested on. Everything was smoothed and contoured until they all looked like fucking soap.

>2000 Ford Taurus
Every single fucking car of the 2000s looked like that. Fucking hell. At least the AW11 looks like you can fucking slice shit on it.

MEMES MEMES MEMES MEMES MEMES

>The fucking 1980's existed, m8. You want ugly, that's fucking it. No interesting features at the fuck all

wow they gave a child a pencil and a ruler then used that for all the designs

the 80s are the lowpoint of automotive design

>people like this exist
Fight me

>AW11
>snap anything

Jesus at least get your memes right

these cars are out of context, so you can see the design for what it actually is.

where you wanna meet bruh

Ill bring a ruler so we can design all of the 80s cars together after the fight

Member e30s? member AW11s? Member air cooled porsches?
You know what I member? People getting decimated in car crashes. Because older cars sucked shit for safety. While it's true most newer cars have the visibility of a knight helmet, at least you won't die from one rear end.

>2000s soapbars are better because curves are hard lol
They were made in a fucking computer that can generate any shape ever conceived and that's what they made. Fucking garbage. Clean fucking lines blow that marshmallow shit out of the water any day of the fucking week.

STRAIGHT LINES ARE GOD LINES

how did you fucking mongoloids not post the god already?

name a better automobile, i'll wait
>protip: you can't
>inb4 shitclaren f1

nope

2000s cars are just objectively better designed

80s cars are purely awful

oh look its the ugly kit car tier garbage again

>f40
>garbage

autism is cranked up full-blast today, huh?

I already said it in the other thread but I guess Ill repeat

shit welds
shit paint
laughable door handle
laughable interior

just wow

its basically a glorified kit car even a Fiero made to look like one would be a better car

being fast for the time doesnt stop it from being shit

>b-b-but muh 80s turbo shitbox

fuck outta here

>shit welds
fair criticism
>shit paint
waaaaa the racecar doesn't have a picasso paintjob -2/10
>laughable door handle
are you fucking retarded? or is this b8?
>laughable interior
waaa mommy i am too overweight for the racecar to be comfy :(((((((((

>objectively better designed
>Literally the most boring decade since the 40s filled with consumer garbage and emissions controls and the beginning of retarded belt line height faggotry
No. Better designed as a fucking bubble wrap safety commuter, fucking MAYBE.

just look at this shit lol

like I mentioned even a Fiero would be better

its a glorified kit car and nothing more its not even a racecar

the 80s were the most boring

wow another car designed with a ruler neat!

meanwhile RUF (who made a better car) was on this level

I'm sorry you have no fucking taste and can't get off the Windows XP of car design.

what the fuck is wrong with that?

>gated shifter
>air conditioning
>kevlar, carbon fiber, aluminum panels
>simple roll up & down windows
>gauges laid out cleanly
>all information that you would need is right there
>simple control layout

it's not a car made for coddled fucks

All I see is pointless waste.

>says someone has no taste
>enjoys the tasteless decade

ok

its a car made for tasteless plebs

we get it you think 30 year old shitboxes are the pinnacle of the automotive world

just not true

>enjoys the fucking 2000 Taurus

>30 year old shitboxes are the pinnacle of the automotive world

please tell me how uninspired modern interiors, cheap & shoddy build quality, & overpriced features are superior to the past.

go on, i'll wait.

>pic related
>it's literally what you are praising

Facets > curves
Because they make the car DIAMONDS

nope

there are plenty of nice looking 2000s cars

cant say the same for the 80s

>please tell me how uninspired modern interiors, cheap & shoddy build quality, & overpriced features are superior to the past.

80s cars were literally all of those at their time

good lord they were the cheapest most awfully built shit

at least modern cars are nearly universally decent

nothing wrong with that car either

kill yourself, stancecuck

btw cirno is fucking trash

You mean except for looking fucking disgusting and making retrograde progress on aero.

Also it's a fucking slushbox.

>literally advocating crossovers

alright that's the most obvious b8 i've ever seen.

if you're too retarded for your own good, i can't help you.

>pic definitely not related

>americans don't know that Fiat X 1/9 design from late 70's was the benchmark for other car manufacturers

sup bby

been a while since I been called out like that

got me all tingly and shit

nothing wrong with automatic

crossovers are the perfect normie car

not everything needs to be for enthusiasts

*early 70's

at least it has some slopes

then the 80s happened and shit went full ugly
