Not a perfect marriage by any means,,, but it works. It's just a new
age for cars and new mindset of the people buying them (in some ways).
Most people don't want to sacrifice amenities for function anymore so you miss
out on the raw feel of the older cars (and visual impact), but the new ones are faster, AC works and my mom can hop in and drive it at 150mph. The new ones are Easy, the old ones make you work, so like everything else, only you know what works for you.
