I include your car in that quote for a reason.
How would you say an MGB looked in the 60s to a person
who refused to drive anything but T-series cars?
I suspect gum drop would come to mind.
It's not such a stretch to see the lines that made
the T into the A and the B continue to make the F. The
B is "less squared" than a T, and the F is "less
squared" than a B. Beleive it or not, some day we
could see a car that makes the F look angular.
Cars change. Progess isn't always the right word, but
cars always change.
Nothing wrong with enjoying nostalgia, we all do
that is why we are here.
However, IMHO it is simply silly to insist that
automobiles reached perfection at some date in the past
and every change since then has been a change for the
worse.
