Yes, I am with you MIlk, the entire 80's into the late 90's I have to agree were pretty bleak times for all the manufacturers. The cars we once new as sleek, well styled cars with expressive lines turned into awkward appearing, boxy, squared off shaped cars with bland features during the 80's and just became a bit more rounded on the edges into the 90's. The materials used looked cheap and the styling both inside and outside seemed to regress. There was not much to rave about. Performance increases were minimal. They all fell prey to same stale approach. Even the early 90's didn't get creative or fresh with styling IMHO by Ford or Chevy. There was not a year or model past the 70's I would have even considered purchasing. However the 4th gen Camaro's after 98 got sleeker and sexier. The Mustangs still looked outdated compared to the Camaro's. Plus the LS1 in the SS when it got to it's top power level in 2002 with a 6 speed manual made that a game changer and a deal maker for me. Seeing them all from beginning to present makes me a bit more critical I imagine. Just my .02
