Have people changed their attitude to cars?

My last car was a '94 Ford Escort wagon. It got 32 mpg in town, and 44 on the freeway. With a whopping 88 horsepower (new - probably only 85 or less when I lost it), it could go from 0-to-60 in something less than a week. But it could haul band equipment, boxes of books and just about anything else I needed to carry. For speed and fun I'll stick with my Kawasaki (if I can ever afford to get the poor thing running again). My next car will probably be a van, as the Old Sailor's band is back together once again.
