My old, now @Jim Bell 205 with a 208 GTi Peugeot Sport edition. Both fun in very, very different ways.

I've heard the new 208 GTi is very good

but you can't beat the old 205 for brilliance

[NorfolkNWeigh]

My e220 and e430, again the 20 year newer one isn’t any bigger.

Unlike some, although that is 50 odd years difference.7)

Having said I don't see many cars over 20 years old, in a couple of hours today I saw a Moggy, pre 63, a multi coloured 1990 Scrote,

a Triumph Spitfire and a 93 Range Rover. Never seen so many in years. Foot shot I think. Back to the bloody drawing board.

I absolutely love the new panda, it's exactly how cars should be

in fact both panda's old and new are utterly brilliant

I agree too.

funny how a set of chrome over-riders makes car look so much older than a set of rubber under-riders

[bunglebus]

Didn't realise how different they are. Bonnet is a different pressing too. Wing rather than door mirrors, hub caps on the wheels etc

[BL Bloke]

The white Spitfire is a late Mk III, so it would look even more different from the rear.

What has happened to car design - is it to make us feel better as more people get fat?

This was my new old car and my old new car a couple of years ago. Not the same, but equivalents. 

[davehedgehog31]

A masterclass of modern Swedish design, and a Volvo. 

My cheap cheap 9-5 Aero and my Dad's diesel V90, incidentally the V90 is a lovely big thing for a modrin.

Took this in a village which I've forgotten the name of in very Scotland while doing the NC500 earlier this year

I think the car designers have grown up, but they remember the cars being huge, so they're trying to make them the same size they seemed when they were 5.

How could you forget the name Bonar Bridge?

Bump for a real thread etc.

Bonar Bridge

That was a must on my brief tour of Scotland. Think we camped pretty much underneath it on our last night, so woke up with a bonar...

This photo is nearly a decade old so the moderns are old hat now, but the middle aged spread is still clearly apparent. My E30 never felt narrow 

And yet car parks are still marked out for 60s sized cars.
