I'm surprised people don't feel the FD is outdated because of the pop-up lights...
...something I've grown to love now...Orignially planned on Glass-Headlighting any Pop-Up car I get...but I love the way it looks even with them up!
As far as looking like a "new" car, it most certainly has the best curves to boast. Too bad cars nowadays are getting "Simpler" and "Stupider". Anyone see the show "Ride" Or "Drive" or whatever on TLC about the new Shelby Cobra? I can't believe the guys thought that bubbly-ugly POS design looked GOOD?! The whole new wave of "Simpler is better" is really getting old fast,....
Something I really take note of and love is the absense of door handles along the body of the car. I love it's location, and the shape of the doors (when opened especially) looks great.
Aside from that, I've always told my friends that the lines/curves make it look like tightly wrapped muscle. Wasting no space with just more "Metal" or fender...and simple wrapping tight the important parts of the car (engine/hood, tires, YOU). Everything is just "taught" and like a Bruce lee type of quick/strong in a smaller package...
There are very few "weird" angles on the car and its only when people take wierd shots of em.
Overall, INCLUDING the Interior (BEST I"VE EVER SEEN!)...I really, honestly feel it is one of THE best looking cars to date...and that includes the Exotics...

Pop up headlights are win. I love them. With all my heart.
All these excuses for "it's the law that you can't have popups anymore because it's a hazard for pedestrians" is bullshit.
If I plan on hitting someone, I must still have enough time to remember to flip them back down.

A few years ago after I got a CD Cosmo, I really started to like the look of it. It grew on me the same way the 2nd gen body style did. The FD has always looked good. The REPU is sorta ugly, but it has grown on me too. I used to be indifferent to the SA/FB body style until I watched a friend turn his around down the street from my house. I watched the sun reflect off of the curves, and the sound from the RB 'streetport' exhaust was like a nice soundtrack to go along with the action. I must say I started to appreciate that body style that day.
The new angular cars are extremely ugly. I'm probably biased, but I think the RX-8 is probably the best looking new car right now.
