This Is How These 25 Modern Cars Of Famous Brands Look In Comparison With Their Old Versions

I actually like the first one better.

Really wish there was a late 70's or midway time-line photo in this series. Obviously where my heart lies but also to show a common drastic design change in most lines. Still fascinating!

id say its a downgrade tbh, the newer models look souless, whereas the older ones have personality and an organic feel to them

I had a 20 year love affair with Citroens - everything from CX's (3) to SM's (2) (the initials denote Sado Masochism) via a few BX's, a couple of XM's and a completely bonkers, bloody annoying and wonderful Safari that I converted into a lovely and very comfortable, small motorhome (OK, maybe not a motorhome but good for getting away for a weekend and not paying for hotels), which, having lavished about £1000 back in 1995, shorted something out one night and burst into flames 2 weeks after completing the year long project - burned the bloody garage down as well, bastard ...... Bugger.

Notice how the new model evokes the front end of the older model? Like paying homage to the past by bringing it forward into the present.

Why is the Lutzmann staring at me👀?

That Honda T360 looks pretty sweet. I would love to see an updated version of it, but keep the ascetic.

First Jaguar was the Swallow, also a licence produced Austin Seven. Then came the SS90

Here is an all Bentley drag race featuring a Bentley Blower which is 93 years old. https://youtu.be/-GSoqzDkVDc

The Dixi was a licence product of the Austin Seven ( So was also the french Rosengart LR2)

The newer one looks like Lightning McQueen.

Look at that lil thing! It's like a go-cart. I bet it would be fun to drive if it has some pep.

Couldn’t find a pic of the latest Fiat 500 then?

The first motor car in the world, and the first city-to-city-drive was made by Bertha Benz from Mannheim to Pforzheim in a day (today it's about an hour ride).

A 911 compare may have been more apt rather than the Cayenne

That beetle is not from 1948

"Good job Mr Buick. It'll look great when you've finished it".... "It IS finished"..... "oh, I see...."

In Renault ads a few years ago you had a guy coming to a Renault repair shop with a car like the Type AX for maintenance...

I feel like I'd have to wear my finest top hat and monocle in a quadricycle

Wouldn't mind owning that Toyota Model Aa Sedan. Like the colour too.

That’s the old XC90. Not the current one. Plus they have just announced the EX90 EV

So, did people in 1914 not care about wind or rain or hail or snow? I know movies/TV shows from that era/set in that era show that drivers and passenger wore "car coats" that were heavy, thick wool or leather treated with oil to make it waterproof, but still.

Not for overweight people then, the 1917 car? I like it. Very sleek!

All upvotes to the OGs😄

Peugeot Cyclops?
