I will give up my manual transmission, if you will bring back pull-knobs, twist knobs and other tactile switches for the main controls of my vehicle, with the appropriate tactile feedback at set points so I can set them without looking.
More seriously - I recently cross-shopped the major low/mid-tier brands (Toyota, Subaru, etc.) and the quality of these touch screens vs physical controls is shockingly bad for the sticker price. I, perhaps naively, expected the responsiveness to be at least as good as a recent iPhone... it was not.
In addition, bring back smallish cars and 4x4s that can truly, safely freewheel for towing. A two-wheel drive car with a manual transmission is fine for this, but the options today are few and dwindling. A 4x4 with a transfer case with a neutral gear is fine for this task, but a new Jeep Wrangler is hardly small anymore in the way CJ5s and Suzuki Samurais were.
Audi A1, Audi A3 since ~2020 (no idea about the other ones) is for you then I guess :)
They have a very fast and responsive touchscreen, but all the critical controls (AC, volume, seat heating, you name it) are physical. I rarely if ever touch the screen even on very long trips.

I think we can all walk away winners here.
