It's 100% pure Triumph, designed in the 50s to carry a skinny little cross ply tyre on a skinny little car with about 50hp.

They are the average consumer, people who don't enjoy driving, but instead see the car as simply a mode of transport. One that want to be involved with as little as possible.

The same ones who want heated and cooled seats. The same ones who want the car to parallel park itself. The same ones who want more displays on their dashboards with more buttons to push. The SAME...

Re: Getting tired of hearing this from car reviewers

I suggest my type of reverse engineering. Out with the new, in with the old. My wife's. 78 Z28 handles and steers like a dream. Throw a tubular suspension on a muscle car and it will out-handle a new car and look cool doing it.
