Prediction: This will be a more prized collectible than the 991 GT3.

Yes. But I hear they're waiting for the release of the new Esprit so they can tweak the final specs.
Um, other than the actual race cars and the supercars, I'm still calling the GT2RS the baddest, meanest, trackiest 911 ever.
But wait until you see the C8!
Air induction noise depends on the volume of your intake manifold, but it's usually a low-pitched growl that's quite pleasant / sporty, and only really noticeable at large throttle openings.
Still $100k less than a Singer.
I totally dogged Acura, and must apologize.
Ferrari makes an entire business model on that.
In all fairness there isn't really a sexy minivan. I guess the Flex is maybe the coolest one, but it's definitely not sexy.
You know what would be great? If we put a Viper motor into the smallest version of the Ram. With a manual. And no electronic aids.
R63 AMG. Nobody asked for it, nobody bought it, yet it's awesome.

Planned obsolescence? Cars are generally designed & tested with the intent to last 8 years / 150,000 miles. Anything beyond that is an opportunity to reduce cost. Make a part thinner here, use slightly less paint there, use lower grade steel there. It all adds up.
I wasn't necessarily advocating the tweel, just a total rethink of what connects us to the road. A thin band of rubber over articulating legs? A belt / tank track type system? A ball roller like an old school mouse? Maglev? I don't know what, my imagination is not that good.
Airbag ALL THE THINGS!
Seems crazy that in this day and age you still have to stop your car next to a pump, get out, open the door, remove the cap (unless you have a cool Ford), move a nozzle full of flammable liquid into it's receptacle, squeeze and wait until it's full, then replace everything.
Volvo.
Still a rubber tube filled with air that needs replacement at fairly regular intervals.
We've gone from wagon wheels, to tubes, to bias ply, to radial, to crappy run flats, but the concept of the wheel & tire has been evolving slowly.
