The exciting “the sheer fun of driving” slogan may no longer be seen, and completelyautomatic cars (different from cars with the automatic gear) can hardly be exciting for a considerable number of male drivers, who finally are able to afford a nice car they have always wanted since their youth. What they want is the sense of coolness created by their skillful manipulation of the cars rather than theease. The hands-off experience is certainly undesirable. (89 words)
