Things On Cars that Will Be Gone by 2025
Motor Trend ^ | 07/18/2011 | Karla Sanchez

We’ve seen a lot of advancements in automotive design and technology in the past 14 years, so what’s to come in the next 14 years? We’ve all heard of autonomous cars in the making, and we’ve seen the evolution of hybrids, electrics, navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and advanced safety features that are capable of stopping a vehicle in its tracks.

Imajerk17 asks us to look into the future to 2025, and debate what things automotive will be phased out in the cars of the future. He thinks steering wheels will be phased out and may possibly be replaced with a joystick, and with the development of aluminum and carbon-fiber-bodied cars, will steel-bodied cars make it to see 2025? Other forum posters are scared manual transmissions will a long-lost memory. What do you think? What things automotive will likely be gone by 2025? Would you go as far to say that human drivers will no longer be needed?

Nah, my car already has that. 15 years from now, your car will sync itself wirelessly with the cloud and will have your entire music library already downloaded.

I didn’t want to be correct but if the media continues to turn Americans into communists... and they are... just this morning abc reported that bogus poll showing 80% blame republicans for this debacle in DC and only 20% blame obama... who can believe that but it shapes minds of mush... because the republicans refuse to engage in the PUBLIC debate... we are screaming down the track to becoming cuba.

GTO>Lemans>Tempest.

And a 63 Pontiac Tempest is almost the same car as a 64 Buick Skylark, but it does have an independent rear suspension and a limited-slip differential. See, you can learn things in the movies.

Suburu looked at it & said; "Nice engine, need water jacket."

They used a water cooled version for long time.
