I’d prefer to have buttons and knobs back:

I guess I’m not seeing how your story is interesting or even a “coincidence” given your personal Red badge is not really original. First Type R Hondas had red badges to denote “quicker than normal” and also “manual transmission” given they were only available as such.

The smart play by automakers would be to lean into the “consider carpooling” option...

Counterpoint, no (unless the vehicle is 15+ years old). Sidewalls are important, they soften the ride and help reduce risks of damaging wheels and tires on typical roads.

Completely agree...3.4L V6 from Toyota has some strong enthusiast points from a durability standpoint. Unfortunately, as we know badge #s matter more in perception for comparison and one-upmanship to the average consumer as they cannot possibly be bother to learn actual facts about something. “Judging a book by it’s…
