Cars are changing in a way that they have to fit to new cultural and political demands. Why are they boring, because they isolate/ "protect" us from the elements, because they are (generally) very reliable, which means you may not get a deeper emotional relationship with your car when she always just works. The car feels remote, the driving experience feels remote, the sound of the engine is distant and locked.
I think the above said is only the first smell of the next step which is the car without a driver. Even more remote and boring in the way the public transport is nowadays.
In 60 years kids will go to traffic museums and cannot believe seeing that people of the past piloted themselves their cars with all the risk of an accident.
