Heinz, you say "Because the cars are so pleasing, they are at the same time, so boring".
I feel that the word "car" can be removed from that statement and replaced with almost anything that marketing people want the customers to buy.
As a society we are being softly directed to believe that risk is a bad thing, the stare will always be there to help and make things better. All things dangerous are to be discouraged, wherever possible. It is worth comment that it is now impossible for a vehicle to achieve a 5 Star rating in the Enro NCAP tests without substantial "Safety Assistance" equipment. This stuff sounds good, but it is the start of disengaging the driver from the process.
To pick up on Milligoon's comment, I feel that cars and motoring will become like horse riders, an activity enjoyed by a few, but watched by many. Why do I say this? 90% of the people who watch horse sports, racing, jumping, eventing, etc., neither own horse or have ever ridden one.
Already Formulae 1 is like horse racing, the cars are un-driveable by "Mr Average Motorist", the drivers are celebrities and the whole event is a spectacle, a bit like a horse racing meeting.
