Very true. I have said myself many times the Rolls is the only modern car that even compares to the style and prestige of the classics from the 60s and 70s. It's crazy that back then Detroit had it all over the other makes (including Rolls Royce) in terms of style and comfort, and now all they seem to know is copying Japan and Europe. It's pretty bad when the largest Buick and Cadillac look like a Toyota Camry and ride about the same too. Today Detroit would rather try to woo people with the technological gizmos instead of the components that make a true American car. Why people put down their hard earned money for 90% of the cars out there is beyond me.

I like both. A new basic car that you can take anywhere and not worry about it. Decent on gas. My emotional attachment however is a very nice, comfortable, well restored car to pop out of the garage. A weekend luxury cruiser. My only requirement is that they both have air. Old cars that are 6 volt with drum brakes with manual steering aren't a lot of fun for us. At least the 60s and 70 cars are more modern and dependable.
