They're basically the equivalent of the crap they serve on the submarine in "The Matrix". Everything you need to keep you healthy, safe and everything is in there. But, by gosh, they're bland and uninteresting.

Cars should be removed from the streets anyway. Useless, terrible for the climate and ruins cities with how space they waste Edit: I should clarify that I mean inner city streets. If you live in the country side ofc you need a car, but people living in mega cities should never drive. Public transports and bikes should be strong enough that everyone can et where they need to go. Cars simply take too much space when only 1 person is in them, they are too inefficient.

As a 27 year old, the thing I find most glaring about modern cars is they take the 'drive' out of 'driving'. With adaptive cruise control and other modern features you simply flick the autopilot on and the car trundles down the motorway at its own sweet pace with little input. The truth, I feel, is that car builders have hit the proverbial buffers as far as technology and styling can go, as aside from concepts which, at this stage, still haven't been cracked (such as infinite range batteries with indefinite lifespans and widespread clean-fuel alternatives like hydrogen cells), it's just the same slew of electrics and petrol/hybrids. As you described in your video, looking for a crossover SUV for my mum has been like reading the menu at a restaurant that serves only hamburgers - same concept, just with a few additions or variations here and there. As for styling, I really don't know where they can go from here, they've followed the streamlined design cue so far that if they got any more streamlined they'd just be flat arrows, like a mouse cursor. Honestly, while I appreciate the technology and driver features modern cars have to give, they have no real personality like classic cars. There's no sense that this was the hand-crafted product of men determined to deliver a car to 'you' personally, rather than what is the equivalent of a mass-manufactured white good thrown together by robots in 6 hours. At the same time, driving an old car, you feel you are part of the actual driving process, with no computers and systems monitoring everything you do to ensure you get from A to B without much fuss. I like fuss, even if fuss ends up leaving me on the side of the road in a cloud of steam! :D

The thing that gets me is, even a simple car like a 1977 toyota corolla sedan or a 1979 datsun sunny (b310) is exciting to drive, but not difficult. It wouldnt be that much work to design it slightly differently to make the body stronger and the interior cheaper to make and easier to assemble (clips instead of screws, flush joints etc) and the driveline could be made relatively easy too, you dont need a complex independant rear suspension for a daily driver, a live axle 5 link with coil springs is good enough. As for the fuel economy. As long as a car gets 10L/100km im happy. I find myself spending the same money i would on a new car, fixing years and years of "oh its only a $500 datsun just do it cheap" in order to make it as it was back in the day. But once its all done, its absolutely worth it. Im quite sure that besides emissions laws, you could build a b310 sunny 4 speed manual for about $2500 australian dollars if you made enough of them, probably about 4000 if you had to beef up the bodys rigidity and add crumple zones etc and im not even sure it would be all that hard to make the engine pass emissions...well at least outside of europe. I understand its not something everyone wants. Hell it seems nowdays people cant even work out if their high beams are on or not and modern cars you cant see out of easily so maybe those lane change indicators are a good idea on those cars, but you dont need them on an older car. Dont even need a stereo really. Just a usb port and a headphone jack connected to an amplifier and speakers. Everyones got every cd/tape/8 track radio station in their pockets already with a decent quality output. Just plug it in. Idk feel im rambling on now. But i cant justify buying a new car. Even the sports models arent very exciting. The mx5 and the fiat 124 are the only things i find mildly exciting, and even then its not quite what i want. Id want the fiat styling in a hardtop/coupe, with a japanese engine with a turbo. And of course in a manual. The new mustang is popular here. Perhaps we could get some more sports cars, even economy versions of them. Hell a 124 coupe in a base trim with a non turbo 1.3 and a 5 speed manual on steel wheels would be fine. Id buy that. Plenty of room for mods later but cheap and reliable in the interim

By the 10 year mark theyre becoming a liability more than an asset it seems like manufacturers traded body rust for mechanicals that are near enough to single use items, by that i mean that once theyre due for a rebuild, the casing the parts go in have fatigue cracks or can only be machined once before theres not enough "meat" in it to fit a replacement bearing or such. Not to mention the electronics which become unreliable themselves, even simple things like an idle speed controller. Once its worn out its not really repairable, its gotta be replaced, but if no one cares about that car anymore, you cant buy one, and if you cant get the check engine light to stay off, you cant pass the vehicle inspection and keep driving it

@@streddaz It's a bad thing if buying a car touted as "safe" makes people think they don't have to be cautious, sober and aware behind the wheel, which are the three best safety features any car can have and have been since horseless carriage days, and have nothing to do with lap/shoulder belts, airbags and ABS. Look right, then left, then right again. And do NOT go around lowered railroad crossing gates.

There’s been people not paying attention, speeding, drink driving and generally not being in full control of their car long before any modern safety devices were fitted to every car, so you can’t say that accidents are a result of people being complacent. Road tolls per capita are drastically down from 30 to 40 years ago and the main reason for this is the safer cars now are.
@artistmac3 жыл бұрын
@@streddaz People are complacent, doing the things I mentioned, because of those safety devices. Nobody should be texting, watching TV on their phones, or, in the case of these "self-driving" cars, reading a book. "Drastically down!?" "Per capita!?" Not much comfort (or it shouldn't be) if the person lying dead in the seat of his "safe" car is you or someone you love, because of an accident caused because a driver didn't give full attention to traffic on the road. As you said, even though accidents are fewer, there are still accidents, and fatal ones at that, that never, ever should have happened. "Accidents" are caused, and they're caused by drivers. Best not to count on a car, any car, to save your life because you or someone else wasn't paying attention.
@streddaz3 жыл бұрын
So you are saying that if a person was driving a old car they wouldn’t text or be distracted? I don’t think so, people are people and as I’ve said before they have been dodgy things while driving since cars were a thing. The real solution? Take the driving away from people altogether and let the car do the driving. It won’t be all that far away.

The 72s had their share of issues, especially the 164Es. None of them feel like they would "break" in terms of they felt solid. But in terms of reliability and how much maintenance they needed, the 72s had the most mechanical issues. As far as the feeling the road, they all had varying degrees of stiffness in their steering and I have to say the steering improved as they got newer. Honestly, I like today's Volvos best. The only thing I don't like is the lack of buttons inside and visibility has gotten worse with each new generation. But the styling and refinement is better in the new ones.

I refer to older cars as "yet another cardboard box on wheels" or "yet another car with round headlights and chrome everywhere". Every decade had it's design trends that made cars VERY similar. In the 80's almost every car was a box on wheels for example. But today with all the different headlight shapes, use of creases and lines, LED technology applications and especially less restrictive designs because of EVs, it seems like cars have a lot more variety than before. You can't sell me that every car from the '80's and earlier was a beacon of innovative design either.

After the 75 which was technically an advanced Gran Turismo car in a saloon bodyshell, they've drowned the company with cars like 146, 147, 156, which were technically not different from Fiats and Lancias and even GTA versions didn't even have a limited slip diff, not even as an option. So they started changing something with 159, GT and Giulietta, adding Q2 and Q4 options gave Giulia rear wheel drive as standard now, and several versions also have LSD. The very same they've drowned Lancia, which made extremely succesful sports cars in the past like Fulfia, Stratos, Beta Monte Carlo/037, Delta S4 and Delta Integrale. Instead of letting them go with what's made them famous and iconic, they said: "No more sports cars Lancia, now you're making luxury limos out of Fiat components"- Here you go, they've destroyed Lancia completely.

Your have a point. The idea of safety we have is being boxed in a 'cave'. That is an inherited feeling from the caveman days. But modern safety design for the vehicles gets trickier because more visibility increases safety which is counter intuitive to your perception. Rigid construction transfers more of the forces in a crash to you. This lets the car 'survive the crash but at the expense of your probabioity of survival. That is why cars design other safety features try to increase safety using active safety features and cleverly hidden crumple zones to tick the design and safety requirements. So we not have active safety systems, brake assist, distribution, traction control, abs, air bags, lane assist, side impact pritectiin etc. The modern vehicle is designed to sacrifice itself so you walk away from a crash. From alll these growing requirements, it's no wonder that newer generational models of the same car are growing bigger and heavier despite having better materials to work with. This is because of increased safety gear. It is quite frankly amazing that car companies still make any money nowadays.

If you're driving one you are well-aware that you're at more risk in a crash, so you'll be far more perceptive than others on the road, and 2.) Even if you do crash, it's probably going to be at like 15-30 km/h, and even cars from 50s can save you then. I doubt you'll spontaneously roll over on the freeway.

@@branon6565 I just traded my 09 Crown Victoria for a 13 Fusion S (base model). I miss the roominess of the Vic, being an ex-police car there was no intrusive center console and the back seat area was huge, as was the trunk. The Fusion (supposedly) has more driver legroom, though I am not sure if it is really the case. The headrests are huge on the Fusion, as are the roof pillars, creating large blind spots. The trunk is middling in size, tho unlike the Vic, the rear seats fold. Unfortunately, the trunk opening does not allow large and bulky items to be put in the trunk. The climate controls of the Fusion were designed to be stylish, and are not as simple/intuitive as the those of the Crown Victoria. All that said, I like the more sensible size, it fits into more parking spaces, and obviously the fuel economy is better from the 2.5 liter engine than the Crown Victoria's 4.6 liter.

I'd disagree honestly. Until the early/mid 80's, computer-assisted design was basically unheard of and many of the same practices used in the 60's and 70's found significant purchase. Many American offerings during this period still had roots tracing back into the 70's, such as AMC's Eagle. Things were beginning to shift but many of the same predispositions about car buying remained until the introduction of Chrysler's Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager in 1983. Many people also cite the introduction of the "crossover" concept as being a major turning point - while this is true, the crossover craze began as a very slow-burning affair with the lukewarm reception the AMC Eagle was given upon its introduction in 1980. (The Eagle, I'd posit, is the first crossover introduced in America to be tailored specifically for the American market's taste without intending to be sold outside North America. Therefore, it has my vote for being the "first crossover" when it comes to the U.S. market) The minivan craze got swept in with the crossover craze and combined with the CAD and safety crazes that took hold in the mid-late 80's, the eventual result is the bloated overcomplicated origami-mobiles meandering around roads today. To recap, the early 80's are probably still "old times" because technology only started playing a significant enough role to be mentioned in the mid 80's. Before the mid-80's you can CLEARLY still see a LOT of older styling, building and structural design techniques, and performance characteristics that were present in earlier decades.
