Perhaps these "classics" would make you nostalgic for the days when you'd dare call the 914s' "styling" "awkward". Compared to many of todays' automotive styling exercises, I'd say the 914 is an example of restraint, clarity and purposeful design.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) I totally agree! I personally don't get people who call the 914 'ugly'. I would describe it as a 'handsome' car. Sure, it doesn't have the sexy curves of a Ferrari or Jaguar, but it has a well proportioned, purposeful, sports car look. It's a masculine car. It looks like it was meant to do exactly what it does! I look at my beat old 914 with 3 visible paint layers and the occasional rust spot and I see the beauty of the creation... I just don't want to have sex with it.
