The older I get, the fewer screens I want to have shoved in my face. It's a problem for someone who spends many hours a day in front of a computer. As much as I love cars, the obsession some automakers have with screens is diminishing the excitement generated by a new model's launch.

Remember a time when you could get a manual gearbox in an all-wheel drive car and send it down a dusty trail for maximum fun? Those were the good days, and when rally racing and hot hatches hit their peak in the 1980s and 1990s, nothing made you feel more like a rally driver than the combination of AWD and a manual gearbox.
