Dodge Charger.

The thing with Challengers is the owners REALLY like them. It’s kind of the Tommy Bahama of cars.

I think it’s inaccurate to say future generations don’t care to own anything. More that they are so overloaded with debt that they can’t afford to own anything.

Obviously a bit of overkill for a production vehicle, but I don’t understand why we don’t have a Blazer that takes this direction instead of a that odd little crossover. Sure the little Blazer sells very well, but it would have sold just as well with the Chevette, Vega, or some random alpha-numerical name attached to

Those garage door opener buttons you find commonly on the rear view mirror. If you don’t own a house you don’t use them. If you do have a house half the time it’s easier to just park it in the driveway outdoors. The other half of the time when bad weather is forecast and you do want to park in the garage you just use

The sound quality of satellite radio is abysmal and I have no idea why anyone would want it.

THIS x 100000000000000! I’ve never loathed a new feature more in my entire life, and you’ll never convince me that it doesn’t lead to accelerated wear and tear on the starter motor or the engine itself based on how people stomp the accelerator as soon as the light turns green.

Push button start. I like the idea of knowing where the keys are when I get in the car and leave the car. There was that time where I dropped my wife off at the door, while I took the car and the kids to the parking lot. Unfortunately, she had the keys. Putting a key in an ignition and turning it does not require that

Satellite radio.

Auto stop/start. From what I can tell it really doesn’t impact overall fuel economy that much and just makes for jerky starts at stoplights and stop and go traffic. It’s an automatic motion for me now to turn it off when I start the car. 

Bigger wheels as a premium option. Why? 18" standard is already too large - why the hell would you want even more rim and less tire? Ruin ride quality AND pay more for tires over time. 

Artificial engine noise (through the speakers).

Infotainment Centers.

Reversing cameras and parking sensors, are they overrated?

Power lift gates.

In my ‘15 Durango, I’d say the least used function are the paddle shifters.  I’ve used them in the mountains to better maintain cruising speeds, but for the majority of my driving in the Midwest they’re pointless.

We design all of those Trail Rated elements from the ground up… it’s not just a marketing term.

Just because.

I tried to watch it last night but it really didn’t captivate me and I ended up dividing my attention. I did notice some of the vehicles were pretty neat though. I laughed when he knocked the Silverado even though it aesthetically looked really taken care of for a mid 00...
