This so true. Modern cars sadly have it all wrong because they're developed by the marketing team and stylists, not engineers.
Drive a well sorted classic rear drive car (say, an e30 325i) and it'll have all the control and grip you ever need with a comfortable ride, even body roll - shocking! Guaranteed to be more involving and fun to drive* than a modern, huge tyred beast.
*At sensible road speeds
If it's a sculpture, then assessing it on aesthetic qualities alone makes perfect sense. If it's a car, then stopping it from working as a car just so it looks kewl seems a bit misguided.
