Automotive Landscape Best Point is now?

[G.Irish]

I think we are at a sort of automotive peak. Because in the next decade or so the shift to electric (and/or fuel cell) cars is gonna really get into swing, and manufacturers will start to decide sporty cars don't justify the investment. Already Honda decided not to greenlight a new gasoline-powered S car because China announced that they're going to ban petrol cars sometime in the next couple of decades. UK and France have already set dates.

I think for the time being there's a lot out there for enthusiasts because several manufacturers have figured out how to consistently make money with sporty trim levels of mass market cars, rather than dedicated sports cars. Kind of the 911 approach. You can get a Mustang with a 4 cylinder and soon, 3 different V8's. You can get a 228, M240, or M2. Civic Sport, Civic Si, Civic Type-R. Challenger/Charger V6 to Hellcats. So many of these cars are well-engineered, easy to live with, full of standard convenience features, and fun-to-drive.

Only downside is how stupidly hard it is to get some models at MSRP.
