There were a lot of cool cars back when I was a kid. None of the current grey CUV's and pickups that line every inch of every dealership appeal to me.
When I was a kid we had a 5 speed manual Ford Aerostar. Now that was cool IMO!
Sure, new cars a better. But I don't see what makes one different from another anymore.
There are electric cars with two speed automatics. I can only hope there'll be more reasons in the future to put transmissions in electric cars and that at least some of them will get manual transmissions.

I expect the direction we're headed is more toward the elimination of the personal vehicle. How much cheaper would an Uber be if it didn't have a driver? I expect within a decade or three, the only reason to own a car will be for entertainment purposes.
