20 Photos Admiring the 1990s' Prettiest Cars
The 1990s opened a new era for car manufacturers and users while the world was evolving rapidly. The loud aesthetics of the ‘80s were influencing everything, but the ’90s had their own looks with futuristic designs and concepts.
Most improvements from model to model were focused on speed and comfort, because the technology wasn't there yet for anything else. As a result, the nineties produced some of the fastest cars ever made to simply move around crowded cities. Some of them were closer to spaceships than cars, but it was all totally legal.
