    The XC60 looks great.

    When I read the article I had a feeling the pic came from you :D Neat old Saab 900 in the back.

    Does anybody up there drive an American car anymore (I know the Jeep is)? I wouldn't be caught dead in any of those foreign jobs.

    I've tagged several.

    This lot skews upscale - parking in Manhattan must be pricey - but the Saab's not the only well-kept oldie, peep the maroon E100 Corolla behind the Volvo.

    I do like this generation corolla but I still see a fair number of these no matter where I go, including Manhattan.

    Me too, but most of them are beaters.

    I pay absolutely no attention to any new cars at all as they all look alike to me. I can't see a Toyota from a BMW here. Anything built after 1985, I just keep on walking because they have no style to me whatsoever.

    Good point. It does look like it's in pretty good nick.

    As much as I agree with you that newer cars are getting more and more generic, I could say the same thing about the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's etc. Virtually every car in every decade was styled to look like every other car. I grew up in the 90's so these cars have been all around me. I suppose that's why I can differentiate modern cars like any other era....and I will say that certain manufacturers trademark styling became blander and more obscure by the 1980's.
