Simplicity is a thing of the past I'd much rather have crank windows and vehicles that didn't rust out in 5-10years. 95% of Everything is meant to break these days sooner than years before and built cheaply. But they are being built safer and the computers in these things will blow your mind at what they can do so it's not all bad but not something I'd want to mess with.
Just to add back when I had my shop a tow truck towed in a new outback as I'd do estimates on the wrecks and maybe get the work. Anyhow it wouldn't let you turn the wheel it would fight you and straighten them back up an no joke that car called 18 different state police stations while sitting there trying to get it off the truck and into a spot.
