The BMW 850 looks better than any moderm Bimmer imo.
The Mazda RX7 looks better than the RX8.
The 2nd and 3rd gen Nissan Sentra's look better than the current cars.
I'm sure I can come up with some others but that's enough.
As for interiors, many of the older cars were built with real leather and wood as opposed to the modern use of plastics, faux wood and synthetic leathers.
I'll agree with you regarding safety features and suspensions.

Most of the cars listed above are great, but when you actually see them in person, they are beat up, paint is faded, and trim pieces are falling off. Not that that's a knock to the car's durability, but it's hard appreciating such nice designs when they look like hell.

they really don't. as a former owner of a 2GS, i know. even in 2006 when i sold my 2GS, which was fully tricked out, i realized it was looking dated. even though i didn't like the 3GS looks at the time, i could see it was more 'modern'.
this is a typical 2GS - hardly looks impressive now.![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)

nor does its cassette player, the 5 speed auto, the 4x4 ride height, etc.
the SC was great for its time, but the interior looks like something out of an old camry now.
the park brake, stick shift, and funky vertical cup holder were sore points.
