They’ve been fast and great value for money for decades, I just wish they could build a complete car for once.

For you they maybe never will. One can pick apart just about anything. Take it or leave it as a package. I've never seen a refrigerator that I have no complaints about.

I've always wondered (and tried to practice at times) what life with cars would be if you couldn't see much of the exterior, only the interior and the feel of the car while driving.
I've owned a lot of cars just like most of you and I've bought and sold them for a variety of reasons. But I don't remember ever thinking of how a car fit me strictly as a driver in the seat and not anything about how it struck me while walking around it.
IDK where to place that kind of thought. Is that the Zen of auto ownership?
As close as I have gotten to this relationship with a car, and certainly as only a fantasy, is to imagine driving a V-12 something, particularly an older Ferrari. There has to be a zone where the seat, wheel and controls, along with the feel of the road, are the primary inputs with no regard for the exterior that encases your command at the helm.
IOW, like a real life simulator. You see the other objects as they are, but you are unaware of what your ride looks like or what its appeal is to others.
The ideal attitude.
