THere are 2 angles here. One is as you say, size, weight and especially turbo charging is sucking the life out of newer cars. Interiors are definitely aging fast over the past 10 to 15 years because there has been a real focus there from manufacturers, even entry level ones. In saying that, I think a lot of modern interiors are going to age HORRIBLY because the screens are not integrated properly, one day they will figure this out and the awkward screen placement today will look shite. Everyone bags the alfa dash as looking old school, to me, properly optioned with leather, it looks fantastic as the screen is fully integrated.

Now to my 2nd point. Everytime I get in a new car it drives me fucking crazy. Beep, ring, WARNING, fucking beep, beep, WARNING ..... FUCK OFF> Just let me drive ffs. The car is SO intrusive, i loathe all these so called safety devices, other than reverse cameras they are all just absolute bollocks and add nothing but stress to me.

I also despise the throttle lag programmed into the transmissions, just awful.
