Most auto enthusiasts agree that the cars of yesteryear are way cooler looking than those cookie cutter models being produced today, and even the modern throwback models simply cannot compare to the original.
However, the only way to fully appreciate how cool cars used to look, and see how resurrected and updated classic models measure up to the original, is to see them both side-by-side.
The modern Bentley can never compare to the classic (1936?) model featured up top, but the new Ford Shelby Cobra does look like one mean machine. And the Mercedes somehow still manages to look like a million bucks after all these years. Oh yeah, that's because they cost a million bucks!

nostalgia clouds the mind sometimes. older version of more affordable cars may look a lot better (looking at you chevy nova! wtf happened?) but for high end cars the current models may be the best designs they have ever had, certainly on par with their classic counterparts. the f12 berlinetta, the aventador, huracan, f-type coupe, amg gt are all some of the finest examples of their manufacturer's design.

I'll take the original older versions every time. The newer versions have no edge, nothing that makes them stand out and grab you, IMO.
