Rep Power: 0 | Wait a minute . . . isn't that the one that was in Southern California? If so, I completely forgot about it.  I don't think Japan went wrong all by themselves. Cars have become overly complex for no reason than to aid incompetent drivers. Back then, all cars were raw and pure. There's no power steering, brake assist, traction control, etc. You are directly connected to the car with no electronics in between. You are more involved in the driving so the entire experience becomes that much more satisfying. That's why I can't get rid of my 240Z . . . I won't be able to find another car that offers the same "feel" for the road.
