I just don't see any good options, nor can I imagine conditions in 2035.
I guess I have a concern about style, but I'm kind of anti-style. I don't wan't people thinking I buy my tools to promote my self-image. Hence, why I use a cheap, dumb, basic flip phone. It's perhaps why I also dislike SUV's because they are popular.

I also dislike SUV's because there's plenty of evidence that since they became more popular pedestrian safety has gone down. I now know 10 neighbors that have been hit by a car, all of them by SUV's (including crossovers) and pickup trucks. Crossovers are a wasteful design that doesn't do anything except help people with bad hips.
