Interesting perspective...Every time I look at an MKIV I really love it. I did not say "true... it looks outdated". If regulations would allow it I'd be happy with that design brand new in 2019. That's not going to happen for obvious reasons and we have an also beautiful A90 now.
To say that my comment about something being of a different design language automatically means that thing is outdated would also mean to suggest that any other automaker that doesn't adopt the same design language as the one that is preferred is also selling an "outdated" design in the same new model year.
It's subjective and to each their own. Some car designs tend to stand the test of time a LOT better than others. Many of today's cars, with some exceptions, are very "busy" looking and that will date them fairly quickly just as 90% of overly boxy designs from the 1980's became dated within 10 years of their release or less.
I'm not of the persuasion that just anything is "meh old hat" simply because something new came along.
The MKIV is a beautiful car today. The MKV is also a beautiful car.
I enjoy looking at them both : )
I didnāt say the MKIV is an ugly car....im just saying next to a MKV, itās age is pretty apparent when next to a modern design. āMeh old hatā isnāt something to use against anything old (2000GT), but other cars during the MKIVās era have withstood the test of time much better than the MKIV in terms of design (300ZX, RX-7, NSX) vs. their modern counterparts. This just goes to show the success of the FT-1 influence on the MKV.
