So you need commonsense controls to get a 5-star rating...works for me. Especially since manufacturers aren’t about to increase their costs by building a button version for the Euros and a screen version for us. IE: global trade helping us also.
SP- 60% of the time, it works every time

HVAC (including heated seats / steering wheel), turn signals, wipers and frequently used stereo controls should ALWAYS be physical buttons. Any items that drivers interact with on a regular basis should be physical buttons / stalks. It’s like we want to move to everything automated / touch-based, but then realize that…
My MAGA BIL took his .380 acp pocket pistol to the full blown riots in south minneapolis back in 2020 and got his A$$ beat and the gun stollen. Every time I see him he tells me the left are nazis and the nazis were leftist.
This dude, like so many ammosexuals, thought himself as a good guy with a gun and fantasized how he would save the day with his gun.
Fuck this clown. Aside from his lack of remorse, he also claimed he accidentally discharged the weapon a 2nd time (the shot that killed the girl) because he tripped on some nails on his deck.
Counterpoint: if you buy a early 2010s Cadillac you have to use the horrible capacitive buttons and sliders, not to mention CUE. All those silver bits are not rockers or buttons, they’re capacitive plastic chunks.
Demographics. This appeals to the 25-35 year olds with the new and/or stupid money. Gotta lock down that awesome 9% APR for 84 months.
I’d just be happy if commercials could dispense with the loud and annoying songs. Fuck every product which assaults my ears with that shit.
Them Tikity Tok’s ain’t gonna watch themselves!!!!
Like Ok I can get being distracted on say a highway, still really DUMB but I can kind of get it, it’s a normally boring mundane drive, but why the fuck are you distracted on what look like the twisties.
Considering how Sen. Hawley was a complete bitch of the insurrectionists with his solidarity gesture on Jan 6th:
“There will never be another car like this, if you could even call it a car. You will love the new Roadster more than your house.”
Ford made a few bad decisions regarding EVs and now they are too scared. This is a situation that plays out often in the business world. A business tries to adapt to shifting markets, but fails because they quit too early.
Of course there’s fucking stock buy backs.
Chevy takes this one with it’s “Real people. Not actors” crap
Now playing
The Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato ad might be one of the worst, at least in recent memory. The whole thing feels like it was generated by an AI engine, from the inexplicable dirt snowboarding to the insufferable pseudo-rap vomit spewing out of what is the textbook definition of ‘tool’. The whole thing is so painful to…
Um, he “runs” Tesla. Please try to keep up.
CX-60 is a narrow-body product so I guess they think Americans are fat. Meanwhile the CX-60 is getting a third-row hamfistedly jammed into the back to make the CX-80.
I get the impression Honda knew their first widely-available EV would be more of a litmus test for their dealers and customers so they just went the cheap route and let GM do all the hard development work. Given that EVs seem be on a downward swing in popularity at the moment it was probably a wise strategy.
