I agree! That's why I had a smart Roadster-Coupe...and loved it... The pleasure is in the emotion, the sensations, not in the power.

Now we need hard suspensions settings, super-soft and super-wide tyres, an enormous amount of power with gigantic brakes, a fancy complex differential, plus electronic steering and all sorts of things, to achieve just what the cars had naturally some decades ago...

However all carmakers will have to reduce the weight to achieve greenhouse gas rules and low consumption.

The weight, that is the ennemy!
