There will never be a modern car with the turn-key reliability as a 1966 Dodge Dart with a slant six engine. Manufacturers and buyers need to remember the KISS principle.
But we--both as a society and through government--demand a lot more from a car than we did in 1966. The improvements between a 1966 and 2012 model in categories like safety and emissions not to mention simple convenience are astronomical.
P.S.: When is the last time you drove behind an old car and could smell the unburned fuel?
