Sorry, not a single one of those cars touches this:

This isn’t a car show. You are remembering a time when gas powered cars were not sad, miserable, and over regulated shite boxes. Those days are long gone and are never coming back. There are seldom few vehicles with V8 engines and manual transmissions available anymore.

Not sure if you’ve noticed, but our highways are clogged with this bullshite now:







If they wanted us to love modern ICE vehicles, they’d make them better looking and better performing. They look like a bunch of angry toasters with way too much overbite. And most are as visceral and entertaining to drive as turning on a washing machine.

Most of the EV’s at least have decent proportions and appropriate dash to axle ratios. And you can tell the designers have a lot more freedom to do whatever they want because they don’t have to fit a huge engine and transmission over the front axle.

And I’d rather look at an ocean of Tesla Model 3’s or Blazer EV’s than another Nissan Altima doing 80 with its damaged front bumper cover flapping in the wind. Or hear another low IQ dipshit with a squatted pickup with no muffler.

And yeah….the EV’s usually perform so much better, offering instant torque and stupid fast acceleration. If we can get the costs down and figure out how to set up charging points everywhere- they will be ideal for most drivers.
