New cars really are shitty compared to older ones. Plastic everywhere. Plus, all of the integrated electronics GUARANTEE that they won't be around in 20 years. Someone close to me suggested that there won't be any 'collectible' cars from the 2000s in the future, due to all the irreparable computerized stuff involved. I mean, even the main engine control modules are available for a '90s car in most cases, but try and find the parts needed to fix the computers in a 2006 Infiniti in 2025 for instance. Hope this isn't the new norm.
I drive an '04 Acura.. the first year that US-sold vehicles were mandated to contain a 'black-box' vehicle-data recorder. No desire to buy anything new, for varying reasons.
