They still do make big cushy cars, they're called "Full-Size SUVs and Trucks". They get better gas mileage than old American boats, while still having styling that'll impress people. They also need less work past 50k miles.

As far as cars having not really changed in the last 100 years... well what cars in 1912 had 500 horses? What cars in 1912 could be driven off a cliff and protect the drivers?

Of course old people will go on and on about cars of their youth; 40 years from now, I bet elders will be going on about Toyotas and Hondas.

When it comes to durability, most 80's - modern cars will not need the work that your car has at just 78k miles. And don't tell me that it's your car's age that's worn things down; I had a 1975 VW that required less work, but it could at least stop and turn, and the interior was still solid after all those years.

"The bottom line: cars today are made solely for profit, nothing else."

I agree 100%
