It is different. I do not know which one I prefer (to look at). I enjoy looking at all kinds of car craziness things. But I do know that I prefer (to own or wrench on) the craziness of the 1960s and 1970s with all the different car kits like the Meyers Manx etc. And of course all the souped up muscle cars of the day. But Id admit today's wild ritz-ed out interior, fender flared, gull wing doored madness type of custom jobs, is just as exciting to witness as anything else from past eras. As an example Plus this modern thing of restomods and protouring of classic cars of the 1950s-1970s which didnt exist even 30 years ago. I prefer the customization of the craziness of a Meyers Manx and Brubaker Box of the 1960s and 1970s because of the genius of creating a new type of car on an existing accessible and affordable platform. But I also love the idea of modernizing a classic car of whatever era in a restomodded/protoured way. Although not as affordable. Heck, in 2025, restomodding/protouring a car is expensive AF. But...car culture craziness hasnt faded away. Its just...different from what it was.

Custom auto culture is not what it was like in the 70's

I dont like how Lamborghini did their "new" retro Countach. It sucks. I dont like how Ferrari is going to do THEIR "new" retro 849 Testarossa. Its not a bad looker. Better than the new Countach. But I feels like both Ferrari and Lambo need not name their new models with name plates from their past. No need to. Both Ferrari and Lambo always were amongst the sexiest cars on the planet in their time. With new designs and names. So why go retro? With that being said, the ONLY model that I wished Lamborghini had done and brought out was the 'new' retro Miura a couple of decades back. It was stunning.
