Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral old skool or new skool?

One of the things i have noticed as each car company design a new version of a current model, like the new astra for example, or the brand new seat ibiza they lose there character

everybody knows the astra,but if you were to put the NEW astra infront of most people they would probably say i dont know what model that is.

So my point here is, are you old skool shape?,

OR are you a fan of new shaped models

Old school, cant beet mk1 or 2 golfs.

best lookin astra has to be the gsi turbo but the new 1 just looks to big!!!

havent seen it towny, u got a pic?

new astra looks to much like a family car (which it is i guess) but the mk1 looks to old an box, like an exgadurated (spelling?) nova or something, best looking one was the mk3 GSi.

couldnt say which i prefer tho, new skool things like the Focus RS look well smart, but so do some of the old skool cars such Mk 1 Golfs etc.

its to hard to choose! :rolleyes:

which would you prefer mr adam, the old fiesta RS Turbo or XR2I or the fiesta SI u got?

Im stuck on that one, cos i like the XR front bumpers like but the new fiesta got a nice overall chassis

hmmm, for performance i'd go for the FRST everytime, but i prefer the look of my Si, am not big on the look of the the XR's an the FRST's but wudnt say no to the FRST dont really like the XR2i as a car, there's something about it that puts me off it.

old skools look best, i think all the hot hatches have grown up and got bigger. for example a 306 to a 307 or an old astra to a new one. the new ones have started to take away the fun of the hot hatch.

old skool meself around the mk 3 area for the astra's lmao. new cars= shapes are going all futuristic if ya ask me.

I agree mate!!! (Still wouldn't say no if someone offered me a newer one though!) <img border="0" alt="[laff my ass off]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions042.gif" />

SMART Car....

Ingenious? OR piece of plastic **** that is similair to a bad megrane, no matter how hard you try and forget about it it just wont go away?!

Old skool girl here - although I wouldn't exactly call a MK3 Astra 'Old Skool'.

MK1 Astras, Golfs, Pug 205 GTi's

cars from the 80's r descustin all boxy n that. i like me cars from the 90's!

Each to their own, 90's cars were based on the 80's anyway lol. Your clio is boxy...

that sounds like a personal swipe!! now now kel!! pingu was just givin his opinion about 80's cars in general!!
