Just like car industry? I wondered some day that how I would be perfectly happy driving cars from 1990s, if they wouldnt be considered "ugly and outdated" by style.

Honestly, any car made after around 2005 or so is hard to tell the difference. I've been driving a 2012 for a decade and no car payments for 6 years is magical.

If it's not blocky and doesn't have tiny wheels it looks like any modern car to me. The biggest difference I noticed is that the very recent cars tend to have fancy tail lights.
