I think nobody interested in Technic would disagree.

At least TLG should give us more variety in cars, not only in scale but also car types. Older cars would be way more interesting and could also boost cool features.

For example big Audi Quattro from 80s with front mounted inline 5 engine and some sort of limited slip diff, Corvette convertable with retractable roof, Citroen 2CV with pneumatic suspension, .... even just a "normal" car with front mounted engine and front wheel drive would be more interesting than the 20th supercar with V8...12 engine in the back.

On the bright side, we get 20+ technic sets every year now. Even when half of them are cars, we got 10 sets that are not :D

It was Citroën ds, wich had the pneumatic suspension:).

If it has to be more cars, maybe an update for 8070, that had some cool features, like the doors and opening features.

Yeah, this. If it's got to be cars, at least make those more varied and more interesting. +1 for older cars and also I think off-roaders are underrepresented nowadays (I have the feeling that there used to be more a decade ago), and they are opportunities for more interesting and challenging suspensions and drivelines. At least some of this year's cars represent good direction, like the Bronco. Keep that up!

At that time, people bashed it because it had those "gimmicky" gearbox-based motorised functions instead of a gearbox dedicated to an engine transmission and manual functions.

That, as well as seeing how 8275 is appreciated nowadays and equally bashed when it came out, makes me think people will look back with fondness for the sets being launched nowadays.
