Cos modern life is all about mortgages, showing off your wankey bling wheels, political correctness, making more $$ than your neighbour.... etc etc... Boring showy crap. whereas the sandman was more than just a car to show off. It represented an era. Heading out for the whole weekend, no particular plans, carefree driving, bonfires with mates, shaggin chicks... All in a politically incorrect and fun world. It represents peoples common youth in a relaxed era. People dont have that so much now so the new Sandman could never come close to that. The original sandman was much more than just a car...
