    Back only for the rich. The car industry these days reflect closely the watch industry ... Cheap quartz watches for the masses while mechanical watches are luxury items .... Electric cars for the common folk ... Cars with mechanical feel and engagement reserved for the rich. Do the "common" driving enthusiast have to suffer ? The only brands making anything remotely affordable and engaging are a couple of JDM brands and the prices of those cars are more and more out of reach. 😢

      How can you forget the americans? Up until this point they made the Challenger and Camaro, while they still make cars such as the Blackwing Cadillacs, Mustangs and ofc the Corvettes. Btw all of those JDM cars are missing from Europe. GTR dead, WRX and the new Z werent even sold to begin with, GR86/BRZ and the 2 liter MX5 will also be killed off by the end of the year. So yeah, there arent really any JDM cars left. Also while on that note, Porsche will stop making the current gen 718 and Macan for Europe, TT is dead so is the R8. C63 became 4 cylinder and the new M5 became an SUV. Its really a sad time to live in. But hey, if you are a billionaire you have cars such as the Utopia, CC850, Tourbillion or the T50.

And good luck getting one with all the dealerships' games. Car companies are making more than before. They just complain they don't make as much as during the pandemic but their numbers are still much higher than pre-pandemic levels ! As Morizo steps down from Toyota ...

      Your argument doesn't really make sense or atleast your comparison. How do you make a gold watch with diamonds for the masses? Gold is expensive.
      Aston martin was never for your average Joe. I salute them for making another manual trans car.

Enthusiast ice cars, with manuals or big n/an engines, or really any kind of driving experience you want will always be available to people willing to pay 500k-1m. On the other hand, the variety of available enthusiast cars has thinned out for regular people and even normal sporty cars have become more expensive and commodified.

      I think there's plenty of cars with manual gearboxes in the low end, my in-laws just bought a stick shift Fiat 500 -- While the norm for hypercars is to have automatic gearboxes with paddleshifters. So "Manual Gearboxes Are Back" specifically refers to the high performance segment.

    I'm sorry but the idea of an "analogue" car in 2024 is patently absurd. There is literally nothing analogue about either of these cars. Even the "analogue" experience these two presenters can't shut up about in these two cars is very carefully curated by a bank of computers onboard each of them.
