"Boring" utilitarian cars have gotten much, much better over time, and can easily match acceleration times of previous "pony" cars of the 90s and earlier — cars that were once considered fast, sporty, and fun to drive.

They can do it while being much larger and achieving much better MPG, as well as being a lot safer.

Utilitarian electric vehicles are even better, but not quite commonplace yet.

I would rather the commercial tell me how purposeful their car is, not how much fun it would be to drive. It's extremely fake/in bad taste/disconnected from reality to try to sell me a Nissan Versa based on how much fun I am going to have in it.
