Pistonheads dullest ever news week?

[Notanotherturbo]

Am I the only one thinking how dull Pistonheads and new cars in general are becoming at an exponential rate. One performance SUV mega-barge after another. 4 in a row in the newsfeed following on from the contrived Mustang POS. Then today the worst of the lot. The Maybach Abomination. Predictably the threads read pretty much identically - ugly , pointless, ridiculously expensive etc etc. No normal or remotely sane person would buy most of these cars in Europe, they are aimed at the obscenely wealthy nouveau riche in the middle and far east where their tastes appear very different . I for one would prefer Pistonheads focused less on these and more on modified and niche performance cars, tuner vehicles, anybody else agree?

Totally agree, 99.9% of forum members could never afford to buy or run/maintain any of these massively expensive ridiculous cars featured.
Cars under say £60k would be far more relevant to the masses..

[Alucidnation]

Disagree.

Pistonheads for all its faults has evolved and is a car website telling us about all cars - good and bad.

You don’t have to read threads about the ones you don’t like!

they can only report on what's being released

and at this time of climate criss the car manufacturers have decided what we need are giant heavy SUVs with massive fossil fuelled engines

Get used to it, its hard enough now to find something that takes my interest, as EVs become more and more common there will be less and less to differeniate one car from another and less enjoyment to be had from car ownership.

The way I see it, the age of the car enthiusiast (whatever you're into) will come to and end in the forthcoming decades. Children that are young or being born now won't develop an interest in cars/racing as they grow up. By the time they are in their early 20s the idea of being a fan of cars will be a strange concept to them. In 50 years it'll be viewed like we see the victorian era of slums, filth and squalor - a weird and alien concept that is hard to comprehend.

What PH reports is just a sign of the times.
