I hate to continue necro-ing threads, but I'll chime in here: the retro movement is just about puttering out. I don't think that's a bad thing. It reintroduced us to the idea of a car as a style statement. It reinvigorated passion for the car as an object of lust, a thing of beauty, not just an appliance. Now, it is time to take that renewed passion and move forward, designing cars that may not look much like old cars, but are plenty passionate and beautiful.

If all you want is a carbon copy style of the old car, just buy the old car. It will appreciate as a classic anyway. Let modern cars be modern.
