It is amazing how far technology has come. I read that the 2015 ecoboost 4 banger is a 14.1 second quarter mile car with automatic.
Technology has come a long way, but honestly, man has been building better mousetraps year by year since the cave man days, so there better be some technological advances in the past 50 years, or we're going backwards.
What's disappointing is the styling. It doesn't show any improvement from what was done in the 1960's. In fact, the sad truth is cars these days are butt ugly. From the finest Ferrari to the lowliest Ford they all leave me cold.
I've owned many fine cars, and a few that were beautiful as well, including the one Enzo Ferrari called, "the most beautiful car ever made," the Jag E type. I put the first generation Mustang up there with the all time greats. But something happened in the seventies, all cars lost their lines, and just got bigger, then the oil embargo hit, and they got smaller, but didn't have the beautiful proportions of the '60's cars from Detroit and elsewhere. And, in my view, we've never found our way back to the simple beauty cars once had.
