No, Mario Kart 8 is the biggest improvement the saga has seen. The gameplay is much more hardcore than in previous installments thanks to some gameplay changes and the magnetic trails actually add to the gameplay, because you can hit some objects and others players to get a boost and run faster, and the visuall feeling change the experience a lot. Furthemore, this is the most customizable Mario Kart ever, there´s tons of combinations, this is the first Mario Kart with tracks and characters that are not part of the Mario universe. And this game has the most ambitious and imaginative tracks of all the Mario Karts, ever. The online is also 3 times better, this is the longest MK ever made and the forst with a 200c mode, that changes the game a lot. Also, the graphic jump between the wii one and the new one is one of the most impressives to date on wiiu.
Your criticism would be valid for Mario Kart wii, not for MK8, that game is a masterpiece that improves the series a lot.

To me, it's a more polished Mario Kart. I hadn't played a MK game extensively since Double Dash, and I felt right at home when I started playing MK 8.
So, forgive me if I don't feel I'm playing that much of a new game when I play MK 8 over the other entries in the series. Most of what you brought up are nothing more than presentation aspects over gameplay changer.

What do you want to change from the Mario Kart chore mechanics?
There´s some things that can never change man, it´s obvious. Do you want to turn Mario Kart into a platformer or something that Mario Kart is not? Or you only want them to kill the franchise? I mean, there´s not so much you can do with a Kart racing game, (there´s also not so much that you can change with ANY racing game, specially realistic ones) and Mario Karts has evolved a lot since GC. You can´t be asking for a revolution coming from a Mario Kart game. You can ask for that on games like Splatoon though.
