Your both right from different perspectives. When I replaced my toy car I had the choice of going modern with a 3 year old model or going older, back to 2003 with a manual car with just basic electronics. I chose the latter. I wanted something I could understand. I didnt see why a sports car should ever need "driving modes". I didnt see 7 or more gears as being either necessary or desireable.
But I have a nasty feeling that I am being a luddite. The acid test will be when Lotus produce a new Elan. Will t be stripped out, light weight with the minimum of electronics ( abs, switcheable traction, no more) or will it be festooned with farkles like modes, electric soft tops, power steering? I hope it will be simple and fast. I fear that it will be complicated and heavy.
Meantime the Plus 6 is close to where is should be. Shame about the faux 1930s styling and that damn gearbox
