Anyways, i love our cars and i hope these types of cars stay popular and get more popular in the future.

This article and your quote almost brought a tear to my eye because they were so spot-on. Articles about self-parking, self-driving, self-braking, self-masturbating cars make me cringe. I legitimately fear seeing what cars will be like in 20, 30, and 40 years because the two aspects behind cars today, the driver and the car itself, will be completely secluded from each other.

I agree with this point 100% as well. I owned an automatic Honda Fit for eight years (it was my first car and I had it through high school and college). I made the switch to my BRZ because of aftermarket availability, overall appearance, and, of course, its performance out of the box. I have no track or performance-driving experience and I want this car to help me transition into that world. Going to a brand new, manual BRZ from an automatic eco-car with 109hp at the crank is a life-changing step and I absolutely love my car for this reason. I feel like I'm driving it and I hope that manufacturers do not completely abandon this crucial aspect in the coming decades.
