Things also seem to have slowed down for year to year changes. My 2016 VW GTI is literally the same as the 2021 that is still being sold, for example. A lot of models seem maxed out feature wise. I think we might be at peak car lol
I don't know, we've been buying my wife the same make and model for some time. The latest upgrade can talk to my phone, is more powerful and about 25% more efficient. The increased efficiency alone will save us 50% of the capital cost over the period we own it.
I expect its replacement will be either a PHEV or full EV, a huge change.
