Back in my day... look at the vast differences in the characterstics of various compact executive-type cars available:

Citroen DS/CX
Renault 20/30
BMW 3/5 series
Peugeot 505/604
Mercedes W123
Audi 80/100
Volvo 144/164
Alfa Romeo 2000

In the next 20 years, the designers of BMW, Merc, VW, Audi, Alfa (if they're still going) and with a following wind, Volvo will have settled on one car design that does everything one way. AWD, electric, fully autonomous capability, and the same aerodynamic shape and interior ergonomics to suit 4 or 5 seated home sapiens. The only thing you have to choose is the badge, to determine what your brand choice says about you. I love the future.
And yet you’re not driving a Hyundai. I’m old enough and driven enough different cars to say without a doubt we now have it better than we ever thought possible.

And I’m really looking forward to the future. Next spring to be exact.
