A lot of us grew up during an era when cars had personality.

You could tell a car was a Supra, RX-7, NSX, Viper, Evo, WRX, S2000, or Mustang from half a mile away. They had quirks. They had flaws. They had character.

Lately it feels like a lot of manufacturers have been chasing the same formula bigger screens, more technology, and designs that all blend together into the same silver blob.

At the same time, there are signs that some manufacturers are starting to remember why people fell in love with cars in the first place. Toyota bringing back the Supra, GR86, and GR Corolla. Honda bringing back the Prelude. Nissan talking about the future of the Z. Enthusiast cars are still fighting to exist.

So here’s today’s question:

If you could influence automotive manufacturers over the next 10 years, what would you want to see?

• More manuals?

• Lighter cars?

• More affordable sports cars?

• Wagons making a comeback?

• Better styling?

• More driver-focused interiors?

• The return of analog gauges?

• Something else entirely?

What do you hope the future of car culture looks like, and which manufacturers do you think are getting it right? 👇
