Our Modern Opera Coupe?

I know and to a degree appreciate the whole auto makers taking "retro" styling cues, but instead of trying to make a knock-off of an old ride why not just make the new designs cooler?

It's going to be sad when in the future our kids are stuck with plain-Jane run-of-the-mill styled cars or ones that look like something from long ago. I hope they all don't just think of them like those mid-70's and early 80s Cadillacs and Lincolns designed to look like opera coupes from the 30s. God help us all if so.
