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.

Having had many different cars over the years, I've learned to appreciate good design, and the styling is all in the eye of the beholder.
I can't think of any other "sports car" that has the trunk space, interior room, or pure functionality of the 914. Yes, it may not have been as 'sexy' as a 240Z when it was new, but I think it's aged extremely well. True Germanic efficiency. But, I also love my Scion xB office car. I can fit four large adults comfortably inside this box of a car. It's short, so it's easy to find a parking space, and it's relatively economical (unless you push it above 70mph, when the absolute lack of aerodynamics does come into play). My knees appreciate the ease of entry and exit, and there's enough headroom to keep a 10 gallon hat on while driving. Yes, it looks like a toaster, but it works! Efficiency and fuctionality never go out of style! |
