Well, not necessarily true. Many cars including the new 'vettes still have incandescent bulbs for the tail lights. Many cars still don't use projector beams (we have 4!), granted they aren't HID, but those can be added. The rest of the design is, well, timeless since no trends were followed. Cues were taken from the 1930s art deco era, but used in a modern way. It is a design that would look shocking and modern if released today. If it were though, I'm sure it would have more sophisticated lights, controls, gadgets, and yes, navigation system. In-car nav systems are a bit outdated too I might add. Now, you can get a portable one that is more sophisticated and with more options than many of the ones offered in cars for a fraction of the price. Remember when cars came with car phones? Now, I have a cell phone with a nav system that is far better than the one I had in my G35 that I paid 2 grand for!

Also, keep in mind, the Xfire still comes with a very modern wheel/tire combo.

Well, I guess you could say the new Mustangs and upcoming Challenger are outdated as well since the designs aren't far off from how the cars looked 30-40 years ago.

We can keep our cars up to date with minimal upgrades such as adding HIDs, LEDs (if someone would make them), and possibly some electronic gadgets.
