>Why shouldn't more people have enjoyable cars? To my eyes (auto mech first job/into car/driving experience more than i can afford): There has not been an interesting new car (on my sub 6 figure radar) in around 15 years. In Washington state subaru are pretty popular seeming (all wheel drive due to rare snowfall in the city). I hopped on the band wagon with an 04' wrx, with a sti conversion, suspension/bushings/motor/turbo etc changes). I'm having more fun with a deeper connection for 1/4 of the money than any porsche i've ever entertained on the freeway. I get that labels are cool, but at the mechanical level it's just a word for OEM perception. SO yes enjoyable cars. But sadly no nothing to buy. I would love to be a 'normal person' with a car payment and something that is 'new' and fresh. I dont want to knock any newer popular cars but good lord. . i could. Someone mentioned to me yesterday that the Tesla Cybertruck is a bit odd looking. To me everything is an ugly marshmallow these days (including my 04 i guess but it has a pleasantly stout looking rear). So dear Tesla, thanks for making new car life potentially interesting.

How have you missed the best selling fun car for thirty years? https://www.mazdausa.com/vehicles/2020-mx-5-miata https://www.mazdausa.com/vehicles/2020-mx-5-miata

  AS i submitted this I anticipated being shown some good options. I've never driven an MX5 but had a wild good time in the Miata. And i spent a solid 5 minutes feeling bad making a somewhat negative comment about nearly everyone else's car. It's really a 5050 thing. I guess cars are just appearing too big to me. Dreamcar 1) datsun 510 with ~600hp 2) A 'disconnected' tesla. (in other words i'd have one today, but i dont my consumer actions to mean that im suddenly married to some company. Regardless of my appreciation/supportive attitude of that company.
