Cars you grew up with

Toyota Celica

Why don't modern BMW's have the impact and ability compared to the competition that it had :(

maybe everyone else caught up with bmw, but because bmw were so good, there wasn't really much room for them to improve
 
the E60 by no means a bad car though, although i haven't driven an E39 for almost 3 years so it's hard to compare a car i drive all the time to distant memories..
plus the E60 is an auto and has comfort seats, so i like it a bit more, although i do miss the TV in the E39, and the fact that when you turned the radio/cd off, it actually turned off, rather than just muting it, oh and i miss the scroll between the vents..
