I went looking for a large SUV, and was hoping to find a basic model without all the electronic bells and whistles. NO GO. Every single one of them had all kinds of doo-dads and thingamajigs that I neither want nor need. For example, I do not need a car that speaks to me, I do not need an on-board GPS, I do not need a rear view camera. I do not need a “smart key” that opens the car when I just walk by it. I could go on.
Dear Lord, the crap they have loaded into those things makes the dashboard look like Mission Control!
You know what I need and want? A fly window, a cup holder, and an ashtray. Oh, and a front bench seat. HA! Good luck with that, Jenny.
And talk about sticker shock! $70-80K for a car (even a LARGE car)! No thanks.
Regards,
PS: Oh! And memo to the manufacturers: Not everybody likes boring colors. If I see one more black/silver/gray car, I may scream. For $70K you should be able to get your car in whatever dang color you want.

(WHEW! I feel better now.)
Not everybody likes 'boring' colors but most do. And you can get a decent car for FAR less than $70k.
