“And am I the only one who doesn’t care about fuel economy?”
You might be. You are surrounded, globally, by a billion other driver who do care about fuel economy. People who think mid-20’s are garbage. People who don’t look at the intersection to an on-ramp as an excuse to hit it and slide the rear-end out as they fly into the intersection and down the ramp to the highway.
You ‘tastes’ in cars is in the minority. If you’re going to choose such characteristics as what you want in a car, you need to know if they are sustainable. If they aren’t and cannot be met in todays world/socico-poltical enviroment/economy, they you have the most to lose when shopping for a car as you won’t find anything to meet your demands.
Those days of V8’s and RWD are dying, but only if you can afford to pay a premum for one. You might get RWD, but not with an LS. You’ll get an LNF, and nobody will care about Pontiac and nonsense nostagia.
The nostagia argument is a throw-back to a time that simply will never return. It is unwise to have such an unhealthy attachment to such a long-lost time period.
