I'm not comfortable with the amount of STUFF in my wife's new Highlander. I'm just not. It's too complicated. Too stuffed. Too complex. Especially for an environment where we might spend an hour or so at most in a day. I know content is what differentiates one cookie cutter automotive appliance from another, but I tend to prefer cars that exude their personality through the way they drive.
So what are the options for a back to basics, driver focused, no mucking around kind of car? I think if my old Saabaru. It was a 2005 WRX. Didn't even have steering wheel controls for the stereo. And my Fit. Perfect example. Great little car. Utterly unpretentious.
Does such a thing exist in the "grown-up" segment though? A sports sedan or something an almost 40-year old guy could drive? Honestly, I think an e28 or e34 5-series would be perfect.

Remember the tail fins? LOL, hilarious!
Remember all the TURBO badges? OMG, funny!
Remember all the plasticy side skirts and air dams? DAM!
Remember the gadget era? Man, what were we smoking.
I can only hope we grow out of this.

I actually decided against a loaded Fusion. The buttons started in the dealership and ran across the steering wheel out to the street. I couldnt turn on the fucking radio on the dash....
Bought a Charger. No steering wheel buttons, no bluetooth, no nav. Cd radio with an audio jack and ac. Not even dual multi climate zone ac. Just the button and the dials. The interior looks like a full throwback to the 60s and 70s era. Its black. Black leather, dash, carpet.
