Why are new cars so ugly??

Why are new Japanese cars so ugly??
the new 350Z vs. the last-generation Z car, let alone the 240-280Z's
the RX-8 vs. the last RX-7
the SC430 (beautiful from the front, Audi TT look alike from the rear) vs. SC300/400
I'll bet the new Supra, if such a thing exists, will look like a birth-defect cousin of the 1993-98 Supra too.
Are the new cars made ugly on purpose? Are they ugly because the manufacturers figure that those kinds of looks are what will sell in the biggest free market in the world?

The MKV Supra looks like an abortion and they screwed up the new Skyline big time.

the R34 Skylines are the one of the greatest looking cars of all time.

I thought the 300ZX TT is one of the most beautiful Japanese car ever built, & with the SC300/400, the most beautiful cars I could have owned but never did. When they first came out, I couldn't afford them new(I've always bought my cars brand new). When I can afford them new (in 96 & 99 respectively), they were discontinued. The new Z just doesn't compare(that's why I bought the G35 coupe. )

Seriously, these new cars are getting ridiculious! Great examples cloudnine.. I have to agree with them, except for the 350Z, i think it has potential to look good, but totally stock it's not so nice. I am definitly afraid to see the a new supra.. It's getting sad out there...

300ZX TT
I'm not ashamed to say it! Back in my younger days, the 3Z was the first car I fell in love with. I would get excited seein them on the road- sayin to my pops, "I want that when I learn how to drive!". I don't think I want one anymore. I still love seein them now, especially the modified ones cause they look so mean. Well, time has changed and I chose the SC which can also look mean

I saw another RX-8 today. It looked like a random collection of appliance parts (Kenmore styling?). Man, if looks could kill, we'd all be DEAD. Can't wait to see if Mitsubishi comes out with a new 4000GT, or whatever. Get some blinders, get them now.

i think the old Z the Z32 is a beautiful car... I'd never own once I dont think because they are a PITA wo work on but they are beautiful cars... I'd take an old Z32 over the new 350 any day if they had a 'new' Z32
same thing with the SC430... its an awesome car but I think the looks kinda went too far into jelly bean territory still an awesome car
I'd love to see the G35 come out with a small V8 and if they redid the interior made it quality like Lexus does.... but well that said my next new car could probably be a G35C
