this comment deserves a [Ask HN] post. There is a huge untapped market for tactile, responsive, simplified & elegant products / tools / appliances / vehicles. We just need to articulate & define the market segment well. “Responsive Utility” or “Full Control Appliances” . Unfortunately the positive qualities of “simple, long lasting, “ and to a lesser degree “intuitive” are presently lost to many/ most consumers.
My dream would be resurrecting 1990s mazda with 3 models: the hatchback, 90s-size pickup truck , and the miata. All tactile control interior. Modern drivetrain efficiency ( direct injection, variable timing) . Primitive ICs (just air/ fuel mix, ABS, and minimal ODB-II features) .
There is a huge market of guys who just want usable, long-lasting, responsive & intuitive tools
