Honestly are some people on this list on drugs? If so I think they need 
to cut back the dosage. Why would you look to compare a classic with a 
modern car? A classic is about the experience and love of the styling. A 
modern car is scrap metal waiting to be turned into a metallic object 
made in China. Naturally a modern car is a better utilitarian device, 
its called progress. You don't own a classic just because you want a 
mode of transport. Give the lady some credit for knowing what she wants 
and why, she wants a Sprite!

Cheers

She wants a classic car! She wants a Sprite! what is so difficult to
understand. Why keep mentioning stuff like Mazdas and the ridiculous Smart
roadster. These are modern cars! You are comparing apples to oranges.

A Frog Eye is ugly? Thats news to me, but I seem to remember you saying
that the EiType was a rubbish design as well.
