You would think 70 years or so of technology vehicles now days would be getting twice that.
This stuff is endless. And there is no shortage of misinformation. I owned a 1964 and I 1970 air cooled VW BUG. They were standard, (stick shift) driving a stick in stop and go traffic with a stick eating a big mac and a thick shake-that is an art. On a straight highway run the delivered around 30mpg. Top speed was like 68 miles per hour unless you were going down hill. My current car Chevy Malibu, rides far more comfortably than the classic VW. It has far better brakes. It has far better acceleration. It has air conditioning. Heat works. A VW being air cooled, being very crude, the heat never worked when it was truly cold. Oh and my Chevy gets better gas mileage than the classic VWs with no need to change plugs and do a full tune up every 10,000 miles and a valve adjust every 30,000.

Cars are far better than they were and safer as well.

Nash vs VW which has the most iconic, annoying horn.
