Which contemporary car(s) do you consider beautiful?
recently, I would say Mercedes is still classy (S-class is still nice).
Rolls & Bentley sedan remain classy depending on the spec...
911 is beautiful.
Limited varieties to be honest.
Cars of the 50s-70s were designed with classical beauty aesthetics which appealed to Europeans (the main buying group at that time), with lots of curves and nice, smooth surfaces which always please the eye. Contemporary cars are inspired by the sci-fi-technological aesthetics which please the new clientele that is a global one.
I am in the new clientele side as I am only 34y... 50 to 60s cars have appeal and pretty much all generations of cars have except the past I would say 2 to 3 years where it is taking a strange direction. good part of it, it will be a super saving process on my side
See how well Lexus cars and some Toyota are received with their Asian design taste. Such shapes were not accepted 30-40 years ago and Japanese cars tried to imitate the European style in order to have a chance in the western markets.
these brands are cheap in their respective markets. they still remain abomination if you have some taste.
Taste in Women has also changed. Most of the 60s-80s stars wouldn't stand a chance to day
here in UAE, men/women ratio is like 90/10...anything stands a chance...
