In the latest installment of the Regular, with which I shamelessly hooked, the eponymous Mr. Regular regrets that the car currently has "no character ... danger of being lost, pushing further and further away from our hands." he frames this argument in the context of crazy, lifting, modded-the-bejeezus-out-of, first generation 4Runner "it's better than a modern SUV," he vowed. "We can not lose our identity to the modern plastics."

It is a sentiment fans have been trumpeting for decades, ever since the birth of the car, and it is a statement that fell to near-cliche. I do not think it's necessarily true.
