This is a funny topic and oddly related to audiophile culture.
Porsche's...really...911s are a study in slow and steady evolution. It's beautiful in that way. In the broad scheme of things, there are so many better looking cars...but so few have developed and evolved like that particular Porsche.
I think cars are generally ugly these days. Mostly because designers don't draw enough (I'm generalizing here)...and rely on computer modeling and rendering. Scale is way off. From behind, my '68 Mustang...next to a late model Corolla/Civic...looks tiny. That's the 'scale' issue. It's also why we have McMansions. Scale is something Michelangelo knew something about and kids today don't. That's why most late (post 90's) cars look really awful to me.
I also think the trend in audio is to make the sound full and big. Think Macs, Primaluna. I think the more I listen, I like the music to sound real to scale and honest...more like when I hear Audio Research.
