I hear ya, I have been going to the SF Auto Show for decades. I never missed it and it was easy to attend since it was always during Thanksgiving week.
I loved sitting in all the new cars and bringing home a bagful of brochures. This is the first year I didn't go. Why? Like you, I found modern designs boring, all are shaped like huge vitamin pills. There are no longer any unique designs, everyone has succumbed to mpg, emissions, Green tech, safety, hybrid, manure-methane-lithium power and techno-gizmo overload. Performance is slipping away due to government meddling.
The last car I recall admiring isn't made anymore. That was the Pontiac G8 GT. The Challenger still looks great though. I don't want a car that is iPhone ready.
Hold on to your camaro, the future looks bleak.
