"... the assumption that a generation still unborn will care about cars
in general and gasoline-powered cars from before their birth in particular.
Do you give much of a damn about Hupmobiles or Hispano-Suizas?
How about accordions?"
I would say my age group has no interest driving hot rods
or 70's Muscle cars. Those are the domain of the 'old kickers'.
Our generation grew up with European hot hatches/sports coupes
with the 'new' radial tires. Lusted after Alfas, Pcars, BMW, Lotus.
Got our licenses ASAP at 15-16 and never looked back.
Twenty-somethings could care less about
-any- of the above!
Many don't have their Drivers License yet.
Those that do can't drive a stick or parallel park,
let alone drive a twisty mountain course at 9/10's.
They are the market for the coming Google/Apple cars.
End of an era.
