I yearn for the days of big V8s in coupes and sedans. Dodge were the only ones doing it, and now they switched to electric because of the EPAs horseshit.
Back before my Charger died because of electrical problems (thanks MoPar you pieces of shit) that thing barely had to work to do daily commute shit. It was awesome, now my I4 has to constantly sit at 7k RPM just to get me down the road. Fuck, Ford puts turbo'd I3's in their shitboxes just to get the power necessary to have any performance whatsoever.
Besides putting turbos in shitboxes, you have car manufacturers adding shit like engine start-stop or cylinder deactivation just to min/max their company-wide average MPG, all of which destroys the engine with extra mechanical wear.

The EPA is retarded.
