I don't think the car comparison is fair. It's not like 24fps movies are technically inept and we're maintaining the standard for nostalgic reasons.

While I think it's probably just a matter of time until movie makers and audiences adjust to higher frame rates, there are some benefits to lower frame rates and lower resolutions in film. Higher resolutions and frame rates can reveal immersion breaking problems with sets, costumes and make-up.

It's not simply nostalgia, but the fact that our eyes, brains, and expectations are firmly rooted in 24FPS, and anything else will have to overcome that aesthetic training. A good analog would be the diatonic system of western (Pythagorean) musical harmony. For 80 years beginning with Schoenberg, classical composers tried to get us to listen to non-tonal music, with extremely limited success.
