That's just it. The first cars were designed to be reliable for 50+ years, then Edward came along and cars were about sex appeal and other things not required for a car. I have not seen many real improvements to cars. Quite the opposite, they are full of crap that can break that was never needed in the first place. Keep it simple and keep it just a car. We can keep the air bags though, that was an improvement. Engine efficiency design has gone backwards since the 1940's. There were cars designed to get 20mpg which does not sound great but they were almost 5000 pounds. The creator was assassinated for making it. Had we continued down that line we would have low emission and highly efficient engines without the bogus smog gear that could likely get 120+mpg and could outrun a Tesla S with all the mods. People just don't know what they are missing.
