It’s a new technology. And really anybody that remembers 70s cars would probably still see them as pretty reliable. The age of family vacations where the fam is driving to Tampa, or until the car breaks down.
They have been around for almost 200 years.
Evolving? Ya.
New? Nope.

bullshit ... i owned and drove 70s cars, and at the time i though AMERICAN cars were the biggest pieces of shite possible ... i was deliriously overjoyed when the oil crisis allowed the japanese to invade the U.S. auto market ... within a decade, the japanese improved their quality to the point that they bankrupted the U.S. auto industry and forced the U.S. auto industry to try to catch up to the japanese ... to this day, much of the U.S. auto industry has yet to quite measure up to Honda and Toyota ...
