Excited about the future but should look to the past.
Technology improves engine efficiency and horsepower but we have squandered it of late with inflated curb weights for no apparent reason or benefit.
If the drivetrain technology of today was combined with the downsizing of the 80's and the style of the 50's and 60's we would all be the better for it.
Example: The other day I pointed out to my girlfriend that the '87 Monte Carlo SS passing by was like the kind I had in high school. She replied "That old tank?" To which I replied that full framed, 5 passenger, iron engine block car weighs less then the honda we are driving in now." She couldnt believe it as most people can't.
