My wife is walking to work these days, and I work from home. Just got an email to turn in the company vehicle by April, so that will eliminate the Mazda CX-5.
I'm keeping the Acura because it's such a phenomenal car, and I plan to teach my kids how to drive a manual in the age of autonomous vehicles. The Prius is for camping/road trips.
As much as I enjoy learning how to work on ICE vehicles, I won't have as much time to spend on them when I have kids, and the knowledge will increasingly become irrelevant. I'll probably never purchase another ICE only vehicle.
