Pole Position
I miss a lot of things from my automotive past, like the relatively light vehicles with high HP of the muscle-car error. I'll also miss the V6 in wife's ES350 when we upgrade to the ES300h. However, I'm happy it happened, not sad because it is over. We simply have to accept that the world is constantly changing, and go with the flow. Otherwise, we're in for a lifetime of lament.

Forced induction vs NA generally results in superior performance and fuel economy cause you don't need the fuel to use it whereas the NA engine is gobbling up fuel like no tomorrow.
so yeah NA engines are inferior in this day and age. Take forever to wind out and build power etc. Unless you're talking real NA engines from Porsche or BMW (high performance ones) but you're talking about a regular old grandma V6 here that's 30 years old.

True.
I'm not convinced small capacity turbos give great economy either.
Hybrids certainly give great economy esp in congested traffic.
PHEV's bridge the gap between ICEV's to EV's even further.
Lithium ion powered EV's still have great supply issues.
Solid state EV's potentially great, but not yet in production.

Yeah, well I'm holding onto my 1998 Corvette 5.7 L. with 345 HP until the wheels fall off. Love the noise, acceleration, looks, and admiration from others... 25 Y.O in January...
And same for my 3.5L 2019 UL ES 350. Have never experienced a smoother and quieter engine in any car. Approaching 10,000 miles...

Just be careful with the rims. I just cracked one and had to get it welded. Didn't even hit a pot hole so not sure how it happened.
