Just feel lucky we have these cars. They may not be around forever. The world is changing.
Funny people get all worked up about a cars faults, but really some of those faults give the car the character and a different experience. The EVs of our future will start to bore you fast. After a few launches, you get car sick and you are done. Rarely do them again unless someone new is in the car. Then you just drive them like any other grocery getter. I find the experience of going slower with sound is better then faster with no sound. Let’s hope they let me keep my old Subarus with all their faults. |

Plenty of un-neutered Caymans in the aftermarket. |

What's all the fuss about the COG? I'd owned/driven several Subarus WRX/STIs and they're all felt like pigs compared to my EVO X, which probably has higher COG than an STI (by a negligible amount probably).
The 86/BRZ is an amazing car and I love it. However, I'd take inline 4 over a boxer any day. |

I am supposed to walk for 6 hours to get to work? I am afraid that for many a car is a total necessity. Now of course how elaborate a car needs to be for basic transportation is a whole different matter.

There are a great many things a person can do to eliminate a car from their lifestyle. Therefore, not a need.
Keep in mind, I didn't bring up the need argument, but if humans NEEDED cars, they'd have been around a lot sooner than they were. You may THINK you need one, but you don't. |

You have it backwards anyway. People have always had a NEED for transportation. That is why cars were developed in the first place. They couldn't make what there was no tech for earlier though so they could not have been around sooner. In fact that is a really silly idea. You can wax philosophical all you want there is a distinct need for many people.
