Yep, sure sounds like we have different viewpoints. I prefer modern safe soulless cars that allow me to focus full attention on the road with a minimum of levers to operate. Get me from A to B comfortably and safely.

You seem to prefer having full operational control over every aspect and value that feeling of more control. The hands-on compensation for aspects of traditional motoring is fun for you, but not for me.

I prefer computers do as much as possible to protect me automatically so if someone does distract me for a moment, or someone is unavoidably going to hit me, my passengers and I have a better chance of survivability.
