As of now........?

As of now, when would you consider to be the greatest age of cars? or, even more specifically, when for each country, or even each manufacturer.

I think now, these days our world is extremly techno-advanced and it rubs off majorly on cars. Currently, almost every aspect of the car runs through at least one computer system before it hits the tires.

The thirties, just for the exuberance available back then, just look the reviews of the Concourses on UCP.

The 1965-1970 period for racing and sportscars. (my fanboy period )

everyday cars: Now.

cars get better everyday, certainly the averager everyday cars from 30 years ago look terrible and underpowered now but they were the best the manufacturers could do then and in 30 years we'll look at todays cars and probably think the same thing.
