7. Freedom of Design

For the most part, modern day automotive design lags that of classic cars which has a negative impact on the overall charm and character of new cars. Before car manufacturers started to base their designs on what will sell to the market the best, each of the major auto manufacturers would take great pride in standing out from the competition with the overall design of the autos. Each brand was known for their specific look and feel unlike today where sedans from each major auto manufacturer look extremely similar to each other. There are exceptions in the modern day market, but generally these are limited to niche or high-end cars that are not targeted to the mainstream audience. Most designs seen in the car show rooms today are very conservative and are focused on mass market appeal.
