I dislike car salespeople as much as the rest of the world, but I will say that there’s a place for salespeople who do the actual work of selling (most do not).

People getting mad, that other people are getting mad because people aren’t getting mad.

I actually think you’re in the silent majority. Unfortunately, we’re also not the customer base. 

A ton of cars have this now. The last couple I’ve owned do this when you throw the car in reverse (but only when the mirror adjustment toggle is set to passenger).

Saab Night Panel. Pressing a button turns off all cabin lighting except the speedometer between 0 and 100 MPH. As someone who hates bright screens and gauges at night, I wish this was standard

My takeaway from your post. Since most drivers are shit when sober, we cannot tolerate any additional impairment.

High beams or radio seek?  My 1967 Imperial had floor buttons for both.

For a feature, I would probably say when automakers offered a factory CD changer mounted in the trunk. Better hope you loaded some good stuff in there. 

Not sure that was the best use of a bar graph...

they are the last modern trucks built to last.

The trick is to expedite your exit from the dealership and then drive at a reasonable rate on the road so you don’t get pulled over on the hot bike

So, why aren’t people buying these? Honestly, because people are dummies still smitten with crossovers and SUVs, for some reason. I don’t get it. You wouldn’t really be giving up anything with an Arteon over an SUV you weren’t planning to off-road (and, let’s be honest, most buyers won’t even drive over a curb).
