Enthusiast ice cars, with manuals or big n/an engines, or really any kind of driving experience you want will always be available to people willing to pay 500k-1m. On the other hand, the variety of available enthusiast cars has thinned out for regular people and even normal sporty cars have become more expensive and commodified.

    Back only for the rich. The car industry these days reflect closely the watch industry ... Cheap quartz watches for the masses while mechanical watches are luxury items .... Electric cars for the common folk ... Cars with mechanical feel and engagement reserved for the rich. Do the "common" driving enthusiast have to suffer ? The only brands making anything remotely affordable and engaging are a couple of JDM brands and the prices of those cars are more and more out of reach. 😢

      How can you forget the americans? Up until this point they made the Challenger and Camaro, while they still make cars such as the Blackwing Cadillacs, Mustangs and ofc the Corvettes. Btw all of those JDM cars are missing from Europe. GTR dead, WRX and the new Z werent even sold to begin with, GR86/BRZ and the 2 liter MX5 will also be killed off by the end of the year. So yeah, there arent really any JDM cars left. Also while on that note, Porsche will stop making the current gen 718 and Macan for Europe, TT is dead so is the R8. C63 became 4 cylinder and the new M5 became an SUV. Its really a sad time to live in. But hey, if you are a billionaire you have cars such as the Utopia, CC850, Tourbillion or the T50.

      I think there's plenty of cars with manual gearboxes in the low end, my in-laws just bought a stick shift Fiat 500 -- While the norm for hypercars is to have automatic gearboxes with paddleshifters. So "Manual Gearboxes Are Back" specifically refers to the high performance segment.

    The N/A 4.0 flat 6 from Porsche really is a masterpiece. Over 500hp from a 6 cylinder without turbos, if that Aston was N/A like the early 2000s cars then it would've been the ultimate car because that old 6.0 Aston V12 was great

I got a bit older my likes changed to the Ferrari 812 super fast and v12 engines. Then I got the news about this car, very similar design v12 and manual. I am in love again, and dream of one day owning this peace of art.
