No ! I reckon I might have 15 years driving left if i'm lucky, I just hope I can source decent petrol or diesel cars until then.

Absolutely... but I worry about information overload .. the real information is outside the car
Is that actually in production or is it the classic artists impression that never actually makes it to the consumer?
I can't quite make out if it is very smart or very distracting. The boy in me likes it.

Hopefully my next car will be equipped with an analogue clock and plenty of burr walnut.
Ha ha. Funnily enough that also appeals to me as well. An old style Jag or Merc E class interior. I can see the design attractiveness in both options but I do lean that way.

It is completely feasible.. see Honda’s small electric car. There will be limitations on angles for visibility etc .. but that display will be common I am sure in prestige it top line vehicles in the next 2 years ... not sure whether the powertrain is of relevance but s class is the first likely place for this

We have run a hybrid for 5 years, a converted petrol head.

LIV Bot, (But Not As Big As Mel) ?
Now there are some interesting estates emerging. I could be tempted by something like the Tycan Cross Tourismo when my current car goes in a couple of years.

The Skoda Enyaq will also tow up to 1000 kilogrammes if thats your thing.
Same as an ICE car....
Except there's no oil change, new cambelt, clutch, gearbox, catalitic convertor to get stolen, exhaust etc.
You do have to keep the water bottle topped up though.

That Skoda looks decent. Towing is not my thing, but I often need to put a lot of stuff in the boot or carry 4 bikes.

That's on my list of cars to check out in 4 years time when the Corsa goes back
Kids will be 8 4 and 4 then so maybe bigger car for me to commute in but still keep the tank for when we go out as family
It's enjoying it's semi retirement

Modern electronics have become really cheap in comparison to a little while ago, yet electronics in cars are through the roof. Why do you suppose that is?

Sorry but all modern ICE cars are full of sensors that fail

So you'd be happy to go without electric windows, air bags, remote central locking, ABS, power steering, A/C, sat nav/media centre, etc etc, after all, they could all go wrong.

I wonder if the designer was a Star Trek fan
