i think the problem isnt that car companies cant make cool cars or even that they arent listening. its that people want stupid cars. nobody wants a sports car anymore. power is cheap and quantifiable so we want these pseudo sport cars that go fast. its hard to sell balance but easy to sell power so now it doesnt sound crazy when companies market 3800 lb tanks as sports cars.
look at lotus. they cant sell cars because everyone who would consider buying a lotus already has one. their solution is to add 400 lbs and a 100 plus hp.
