hopefully once EV has fully matured we'll get back to comparable power output for much lighter weight but car makers don't like making throwback cars, it seems.

Those cars won't last forever, and they sure wont be cheap in the future.
Don't care if EV cars are all 1000KG cars with 1000BHP, I don't want a car with no sound, no power delivery curve and no gears.
Mazda and Lotus can't defeat legislation.

All of these things fell out of popularity because they weren't in demand
Manual transmissions are going out of style as fewer and fewer cars offer them at all. N/A engines are going out because of emissions regulations, cars are going hybrid because the fuel savings is superior.
Face it, car culture is dying.

Austin Clark
Pick a common 80/90s car with a large community. When the time comes, Rebuild the engine and replace parts with more durable/better designed parts as necessary along the way. You'll end up with a full restomod over time. Unless you fuck the frame up, you can keep a car indefinitely
Ian Martinez
Because it can't behave like a proper AWD system, it'll always just drive like a FWD car but with more traction.
You are everything that is wrong with modern car culture.

Chebby just released the new Camaro with a 10 speed gearbox, that pretty much destroys the entire drivetrain in my books as it's basically a CVT. It isn't a V8 if you only get to hear 1000RPM of the rev range.
Jack Gonzalez
>It isn't a V8 if you only get to hear 1000RPM of the rev range.
fugggggg, every single solitary RPM should be audible for miles when accelerating and climbing gears with a glorious V8.
shit at least it has an actual engine in it, and isn't a cucked go-kart

Parker Ortiz
Buyers dictate the rules, not manufacturers. Also some things are cheaper to produce than the others, which is crucial for automakers to spend less and earn more. You think ANY, I repeat, ANY manufacturer cares about their cars? Its all about cash and nothing else matters. M, AMG, RS etc. cars are made cause it generates money, not because they want to stick with their heritage.
Lucas Barnes
Fun fact: Porsche actually told in their interview that they will stop producing Panamera, Cayenne etc. with diesel engines, cause they werent in demand, and only people who bought them anyway are from Europe which really is like 10% of whole market share
Brandon Hall
I come bearing good news user
Their is a rumor going around that BMW is making an ultra lightweight roadster(2500 lbs ish car fitted with a high revving motorcycle engine from one their bikes)
Apparently gonna be revealed next month at Geneva. Bunch of legit leaked documents talking about it.
Jaxon Howard
I'm skeptical but will insta bUy if true
Levi Mitchell
It's a hybrid though. It's already a shadow of what it could have been
Isaiah Collins
>Don't care if EV cars are all 1000KG cars with 1000BHP You sound like a manchild. Instant torque cars with low center of gravity will make much more interesting sport cars. >no gears Electric cars CAN have gears. Petrol engines for cars have been improving for a hundred years, while electric engines (for cars) have not. Give them time.
>cars that don't drive themselves will be priced off the road in a few years >owning a car at all will probably not be a thing in 10-15 years Cars that drive themselves need decent roads, and outside of Europe and part of America, that shit is rarer than you think. Just move to latin america if you want, autonomous cars won't be the norm here for a few more decades - IF they ever do anyways.
Nolan Rodriguez
wrong
Charles Jenkins
This.
Ebikes are a thing, but are way less feasible than electric cars. You don't have as much room or weight for a giant battery. ICE bikes aren't going anywhere.
Turbo bikes are also a thing, but fuck that and also superchargers are better anyway. Dual clutch bikes are a thing (lol Honda) but are an oddity. CVTs only come in scooters. MotoGP isn't being choked to death by regulations. Every bike worth riding (which is a lot of them) comes standard with usually a 6-speed wet clutch sequential dogbox. 100 horsepower is all you will ever need on a 350 pound bike, and you'll be 40 rolling with tuners, except you can actually corner and U turn inside of a parking space.
>but muh safety Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Ride smart and wear your gear and it's actually just about as safe as driving.
Bike motors are also hilariously over square, and rev to like fucking 17,000 rpm. Lots of them don't even come on power until after 10,000 rpm.
>but muh emissions regulations Bikes get like 80 mpg because they weigh nothing.
You also FEEL EVERY SINGLE VALVE OPEN AND SLAM SHUT BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS INCHES AWAY FROM YOUR SOFT, FLESHY, LEATHER-CLAD TAINT AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

Brody Bell
>>next corvette will be slushmatic only Haha no.
There's no way they would make the Corvette auto only. The Corvette currently allows you to get either a manual or automatic in any trim level. They've put too much money into this 7 speed manual just to drop it entirely after 4 years.
Also, if you are looking for a decent sports car that is still true to what it used to be, pick up a camaro.

>alfa romeo only makes automatics Not if you're not an Amerifat. >next corvette will be slushmatic only Source? Corvette has always been one of the best selling manual cars in the US, why would they get rid of that? >porsche only makes diesel/hybrid luxury cars now and 4 cylinder cuckboxes Which pay the bills for the 911 and Cayman, duh. >ICE engines are going to be phased out entirely in a few years If you seriously think this, you're a brainlet. Electric isn't even close to 10% adoption, and once they hit that our electric grid will probably fail, not to mention the materials needed for batteries, nor the renewable fuels we're already making. >cars that don't drive themselves will be priced off the road in a few years Horses still exist, don't they? Manual cars will become horses, which means we get rid of the useless shitboxes and transform into a patrician hobby.
Parker Wilson
This. It's just a matter of time before we see a 1000hp V8 hoonmobile for less than 100K at a Ford, GM or Dodge dealership.
Which is why you can buy one with a manual (you're forced to with the ZL1 1LE), or you just actually drive it and realise that it's a great transmission. You only use 2-6 anyways for spirited driving, 1st is a takeoff gear for hard launches, 7th is direct drive and 8-10 are all overdrives for 1250RPM highway cruising.
Aiden Watson
jesus christ, america isn't the world you fucking fat shits. only the 4c is strictly DCT, everything else is manual/DCT/ZF 8 speed.

Turbo's on motorcycles are pure sex and thrills. Any form of boost is, really.
Superbike motors mostly don't go above 15K. 17K is a bit high. 10K RPM will scare most passengers anyway since that's where most of them start running into peak torque.

autonomous cars aren't ready for prime time even on well-maintained roads, of which there are fewer and fewer in America. Even with massive infrastructure repairs taking years, it won't matter when the computer driving a car can't react properly - they need to be better than humans to be allowed on the road, and they're aren't even on par with us yet. Don't freak out so quickly.

They'll just put 155mph limiters on them - which you can get rid of with a simple tune.
