Is this a sign of me getting old or something lol? Cars were better before...
The CR-Z is more appliance then automobile, no pride, no herritage, no soul...
The problem is that enthusiasts are a very small, if not almost invisible, part of the overall car market.
The average car buyer does not car about performance - they care about reliability, looks, fuel economy, unnecessary features (bling) and brand/image. Morever, we in North America, have gotten much fatter and lazier over the last 20 years which is why cars with sporting intentions no longer sell. This is exemplified by the demise of manual transmissions (I don't care if a computer can shift quicker than I can - it's all about feel and control), the decline in engineering, feature creep, and weight gain.
