Technology (Motor Vehicle Styles)

In the general fashion market retro styling is a current trend. 1970's flare jeans are back, as well as shoes from the 1960's. Car trends are following suit. Retro styles from 30 to 50 years ago are making a huge comeback. Vehicle manufacturers are reviewing trends of the entire century to incorporate much of the old into the new. "There is little evidence of the futuristic shapes that designers once imagined buyers would demand by the end of the century."
examples: remake of the Thunderbird, increased Vespa sales, and the new Volkswagon beetle.
Even Mitsubishi's concept car that can drive itself has integrated retro aspects.

Everything old is new again
