What's a technology that was cooler in its older iterations?
I don't mean BETTER. That's a different conversation. I mean cooler.
An old CRT display was literally a small scale particle accelerator, firing angry electron beams at light speed towards the viewers, bent by an electromagnet that alternates at an ultra high frequency, stopped by a rounded rectangle of glowing phosphors.
If a CRT goes bad it can actually make people sick.
That's just. Conceptually a lot COOLER than a modern LED panel, which really is just a bajillion very tiny lightbulbs.

I'm tired of fuckin hatchbacks, I just want a regular car, not an SUV, not a truck, just, a fucking car car.
I'd like it if hatchbacks could be hot again and not SUVs. Ford Focus, VW Golf, those sorts of things.
That's all well and good if you want one.
I want a plug-in hybrid, and almost every option is either unflattering or expensive https://www.caranddriver.com/features/g15377500/plug-in-hybrid-car-suv-vehicles/
Sedan or coupe?
I mean really I'd prefer a four door but more for carrying... A little more stuff? I don't know, I really want a Rivian but they're like 80k and all.
I mostly want a four door so I can throw shit in the back.
A rear door is handy for throwing shit in the back tho - I wouldn't even buy a car without a hatchback for that very reason.
I'm a fan of (five door) hatchbacks, but station wagons were fucking cool
