Are the '21 models better than an '11? I don't think anyone would say they'd rather have a '21 than a '69.

I do love collecting my old classics, but every time I'm the one driving my wife's Civic, I think, huh, everything about modern cars is better in every single way.

Including pervasive tracking of driving habits and who you associate with, sold to the highest bidder. :-(

Depends on if I have a garage and a team to keep it running good, if I'm taking it for a nice drive or just showing it off in a museum.... The long, swooping '69 is iconic, but there are lots of things to prefer about a modern model.

In terms of speed, definitely - the '69 Corvette's zero-to-60 mph time was about 7 seconds, the '11 Corvette took about 4 seconds, and the '21 Corvette takes under three seconds. Sustained performance, maximum speed, etc. has also improved.

They would if they were looking for top speed.
