Yeah, and given Hyundai quality, that will be dead within a year. I despise this design choice on cars, especially when it can’t be seen from something as short as a hatchback or sedan.

So Much This! I do not understand why manufacturers are throwing all of the necessary controls into touchscreens. Additionally, it boggles my mind that consumers and reviewers eat it up so much, when it prioritizes inattentiveness and lazy driving over safety and paying attention to the damn road.
Aww, poor guy. I’ll pity star ya.
Chances are, you’d get kicked in the balls every day for driving a 300 anyway. . .
Have you seen their design language lately...the epitome of too much effort. I think they need to balance it out somewhere else.
Touche
The offset where those two panels meet and the panel gap between them is bothering the hell out of me, especially considering this is a $200K vehicle.

Hyundai does this (Kia might as well):
No, I think the author is referring to another, unrelated inicident where another engineer also failed to pay attention to the signs/signals.
Counterpoint: Went to get a new Mazda 6speed and wanted black; happened that the only 6speed they had was the Soul Red (never liked red cars). Got the red and have never looked back.
Never liked green on cars, doesn’t fit many modern body styles, but hot damn that B3 is beautiful...
Nice!

a handful of Type Rs—a lot of them being this lovely gunmetal color, too—to be trashed within the model’s first few months in the U.S.,
Starred for TNG reference (pretty much what they must have studied for the interior design), and for the JBR shift knob in the first pic - I have it in my MZ3 and it’s a delight to use.
For anyone interested in the story (I was, because I both a)work in the shipping industry, and b)own a Mazda):
Yeah, good thing nothing was Thor-n.
YES! THAT! Also, the lines of dirt and sludge that builds up at the end of the wipers arc at the edges of the windshield when it all dries; drives me nuts, especially if it’s directly in your line of sight.
Right...they probably lined the same cars up in photographs, and had people see how many they could identify w/o brand clues. Jalops like you and me who could pick a brand out a mile away were dropped in favor of the average Joe Schmoe who couldn’t tell a Mazda from a Mercury.
