The 80s were probably the nadir of car styling- whilst I was fond of my Golf GTis looks -and the 205 was easy on the eye too - there was a plethora of horrors -Escort (especially in all white Turbo form) , Granada, Acclaim ,Metro, Ital , Starion , TR7 etc.Or the ghastly Mondiale and Testa Rossa further up market.
Re prices- cars are far cheaper now than at any time in history- it's why there are so many of the damn things.1959 Mini cost £497 and had no equipment worth beans , not even a heater . Now equivalent of £10 500 , two grand more than a host of small, well equipped and safe cars from Hyundai, Skoda etc . And because modern cars don't fall in bits and rust away after 2 years, buying a 4 or 5 year old car now means years of trouble free driving for pennies
