Today, there are many cars and brands that owe everything or almost everything to the great successes of their past. A classic past, which went down in the annals of history for its disruptive and innovative nature. we are thinking about great classics of all time like the MINI, the Jeep or the Citroën 2CV. There are many cars that honor their past and honor it, but in today’s video, we are going to talk about five cars that are a true affront to its classic past. In Diariomotor we do not bite our tongues and we are going to get wet. Will you join us to meet these five cars?
Our review of cars that we believe detract from their past begins with the FIAT 500 family, specifically with the FIAT 500X and FIAT 500L. The FIAT 500 may be a reasonable successor to the 1957 Cinquecento, but the minivans and SUVs launched in honor of its name are not, and that is why they do not honor its past. The second case talks about the Chevrolet Corvette C8, to which we have already dedicated a video. The eighth generation of the Chevrolet Corvette is an affront to its past as it abandons its traditional mechanical scheme in favor of a mid-engine and a design inspired by Italian supercars.
The next car to go through the “court” is the Mercedes SL. What started out as a purist, lightweight, and beautifully aesthetic sports car has become over the years a bland, Americanized, and overweight version of the car it used to be. The last Mercedes SL to date is a terribly ponderous and lacking in the personality or charisma of his great-great-grandfather. Next, we have to analyze the current range of MINIa case similar to that of the FIAT 500 range. As in FIAT, they take advantage of the name and aesthetic features of the original, but pervert its execution.
When it comes to building the entire range, from the MINI to the Countryman, we find cars increasingly bigger, heavier and further away from the original concept of minimalismlightness, low cost and simplicity that were the maxims of the original MINI of 1959. Our latest classic is not a classic, but the most innovative brand in automotive history: Citroën. Its endless legacy of classics is simply second to none, but Citroën’s current range simply does not represent this glorious and disruptive past: rather, it seems to mock it.
