You missed my point (but Mikey gets it). I'm not taking an all-or-nothing position like that suggests.

It's not about returning to everything about 1960s automotive performance. I'm more than fine with things like EFI and chassis improvements.

It was that a car's 'character' should be more about the way it drives (and what you have to put into that) than on today's over-emphasis on luxury and high-tech features that have little or nothing to do with the way the car drives. Let alone the matter of getting fun out of just the driving part of car ownership. And that's without getting into the matter of handing over active control of cars to technology so that the driver is isolated still further from the matter of driving.
