2021 safety tech includes back-up camera and associated LCD display, auto braking, lane keeping, LED headlight advancements, blind spot monitoring and numerous air bags, auto wipers and lights etc etc. plus structural improvement.
The car they want sounds like less well made 2021 car with 1990s fuel economy and performance and a drivetrain that is easier to maintain but needs more maintenance.

- manigandham 5y agoOutside of airbags and structural/material improvements, most of that hasn't actually contributed much to safety. Many brands have also seen a big decline in reliability and quality of craftsmanship. In fact Tesla's high-end models still don't match the quality control of Toyota's most basic cars. Sure tech has improved but construction and longevity has taken a hit.
