Haha, well that might be part of it! I'm 31 so I don't think I'm "set in my ways" grandpa old yet, but there's probably a little of that. There are quite a few contemporary cars that I think are good as anything from the best decades (eg I think the Audi r8 is an instant classic, and the 458 Italia is the most stunning Ferrari in 20 years), but I do think a lot of new cars are over styled and cladded with crap they don't really need. I definitely think BMW lost the plot a bit the last decade....all started with the Bangle butt.
Keep in mind, I'm a designer myself (unfortunately not cars), so I come at things from a visual perspective because that's what Im trained to do. Over-designed elements bother me more than most.
