Here's the thing: the mass shift to SUV's and crossovers is extinguishing my interest. In the last couple of years, I've started seeing new vehicles on the road and realized I have no idea what they are. And I don't care to know.

Is it just me? Now I know how most people see all cars?
The bright lining for me would be,that we've finally caught up to the 1930s,and Tesla is building the Fachsenfeld/Kamm car,of Cd 0.23.
And we have the potential to got to Cd 0.12 if we choose.And carbon-free.All it took was a crazy from South Africa.
I'll be glad when car styling goes completely under the guillotine and you can only discern different carmakers by the logo,colors,and graphics.Nothing but waste since 1926.
