I totally agree with this statement (although I might have worded it a little differently). I don't know wtf happened to automotive designers with the 2000 model year. The sportiness of the designs just went out the window.

Compare:

MR2 (MKII)
Supra (MKIV)
GT4 (6th Gen)
FD RX7
S2000 (introduced in 1999)
Even the Eclipse and 3000GT


To any new model, foreign or domestic, first introduced after 2000 (non-exotic).

The saturn sky comes close but the rest have major design flaws from an aesthetic stand point.

Wouldn't it be nice if they offered a $30K car that looks like an MKII MR2 with the performance / technology of the 370Z?

/rant.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
