I'm talking about the stuff that is turning cars into a media room....the Navs, bluetooth gadgets, power everything, tv screens in seats, 300 buttons to control temperature etc....throw in an automatic transmission and you're basically steering a lazy-boy. All this stuff takes away from the act of driving which I think is the funnest part. All this stuff has potential to be unsafe as well (the more stuff you have to distract you, the less time you have to pay attention to the giant real life movie outside of your windshield).
I agree about a lot of the media stuff. Although most people don't care about the driving experience and just want all the gizmo's possible. Personally I would prefer to have a car with the media room and all the jazz for driving around during the week and long road trips and have a bare bones driving car for the weekends.
