Actually, most of the older varieties have much more apparent sweetness 9- or are at least on a par with newer varieties.

I know that Stokes supposedly bred additional sweetness into some of their hybrids, but it was really more about ensuring that tomatoes commercially grown and picked at the break stage (just a bit beyond green) had better flavor than most of the grocery store tomatoes. I grew a few and was quite underwhelmed!
