I agree completely and this doesn't just apply to the A2. Those in their 30's now are probably the last generation of petrol heads/car enthusiats. Those currently becoming of car driving age have far less interest in cars than ever before (read an article somewhere but can't quote it as I can't remember where
) The generation below that will all be driving little electric boxes that look the same.
Just embrace and enjoy what we have and whatever you do, don't invest £80k in a Sierra Cosworth as i'm sure that bubble will pop soon.
