I choose to weigh in all the factors, look at the pros and cons, and pick the better of the two.
Ultimately, what is better? Looks, sound, feel? Or performance? Remember back when the GT350R got it's behind toasted by the ZL1 in every performance category but MT gave Ford the win because the GT350R "sounds better", has some kind of "special feel" to it, "looks better", and other meaningless BS they shouted that has nothing to do with anything? I didn't care because the ZL1 hands down whupped the GT350R. The ZL1 outperformed the GT350R despite the made up fairy-tale crap those editors drummed up. That's how I look at the future of this industry. Sound, looks, and imagining some non-existent feel or a car means nothing to me if I'm staring at tailights. So yea I'll miss certain aspects of gas enignes. But ultimately what drives me is the performance.
EVs are coming whether we like it or not. Maybe to some of you this will be the dark ages. But to me, I see the bright side. I welcome it.

Ok finally your first sentence! I can dig it. Ultimately there is very little that I can do about it other than hope. It is because of this and the fact that I have exhausted purchasing camaros (but not corvette) that I am currently looking at the pickups as my next new purchase. I look at them because they offer the things that I like; Full sized, v8 power, comfort and convenience, and attractiveness. Its ashame but today's cars no longer do it for me other than for pure transportation.
