on the flip side you could argue cars are more refined and daily friendly now. meaning you can use them more often for a variety of tasks. thats why i have an f80

You have a pretty good comparison point for what I am feeling lately, i.e. your 2018 GT3 vs your 458 which was a 2010 right?
would you not say that your GT3 feels that much newer, crisper and tighter than the 458? (apples to oranges in a way I know)
The "worn out" feeling I have experienced with older cars I've test driven lately is causing me to shy away from them.
I am feeling like I will enjoy a brand new GTS 4.0 much more than a 8-10 year old R8 v10 with 20000-50000 km partly because it will simply be new versus worn.
but that v10!
