    I always have trouble associating the Figaro with early 90s. It occupies this weird proto-retro bubble of design history all to itself. Unlike the later, early 2000s retro-themed cars, there is less obvious modern design in the interior..or the exterior. It looks like an old car in a more convincing manner. But then you see the parts-bin vents and speaker grills and such and you fall into this weird uncanny valley. To put it succinctly, the Figaro is 'real weird' and I love it. Met a woman in the SF Bay Area who paid an *obscene* amount of money to get one CA legal...she wasn't even really a car enthusiast...she was just a Figaro enthusiast and I am so happy she exists. I'm certain that she will watch this video. If you're out there reading comments, know that you're a badass!

      A Toyota Aurion Sportivo they’re simple, there is much higher attention to detail. A vast majority were hand made and hand crafted, not mass produced and made of common material. They look nicer and are much more simple, rather than just having screens everywhere. Older Cars were cheaper, new cars are so advanced that they’re incredibly expensive. Cars all do the same thing, they go forward, backwards and get you from A-B. But it comes down to preference, and opinions are subjective. I just personally believe they look nicer.

      @@Clvaner Me, and my dad had a conversation about this topic about a month ago. One of my main things that bothers me is some brands don't have any special or higher quality interiors over there more daily driver kind of cars. My dad got me a job at the Chevy dealer near us, and I was so disappointed in the interior of the new Camaro we got. Same with the few new Toyota's we got. A lot of cars now would get more love, if they didn't feel as basic as they are in the interior. If the same amount of love went into the inside then a lot of newer cars would be way cooler, and be worth the cheaper price tags.
