Driving would drive you crazy and don’t forget tolls,gas,and 25 a day to park.

If means you can meet people during layovers for lunch or shopping.

And that’s exactly why I took a 4 hour train to buy one of the last low-mileage Mk7s in the country: the MIB2 system and matching climate interface were perfect (save for a bunch of buttons I never use and wish I could reprogram) but I still rather have buttons I don’t use than no buttons at all

I’m sure the Lexus mouse pad will get a lot of hate, but for me it’s any Nissan in the mid to late teens. This was up against the basic but superbly functional Ford Sync 3, the solid VW MIB2, and even the cartoony Chevy system, but Nissan’s infotainment looked like a DVD menu from 2001 and was as…

IDK, man it just looks like any other OEM’s left volume knob, and a welcome one at that.

As a whole, the Prologue is five inches wider and eight inches longer than a CR-V.

I’ve never seen someone complain about having physical knobs. Honda got rid of the volume knob years ago and got reamed in JD Power scores, so they had it again since 2016 or 2017, I think.

I know, but drive across the country and you’ll see how far behind California is. Rest stops in the middle of nothing in Wyoming and Nebraska blew me away with how clean, well lit, modern, and maintained they felt. It made CA’s look like a port a potty.

+1 on all California rest stops. They’re almost all wet-floored cinderblock buildings with underground septic tanks with vents blowing poo air over the crabgrass. Also the toilets look like someone won a contest for “how few times can you fold metal and make something look like a toilet”

The step back to one in three for Scarlet & Violet sets was painful after that, even with the decision that every single pack would include at least two reverse holos and one regular holo card. The irony being, when a card is guaranteed, it immediately stops feeling special.

I’ve driven twice from California (SD and SF) to the East Coast along the entire lengths of I-70 and I-80.

I only hope they make it pure electric or gasoline hybrid - as promising as hydrogen is, I’d like to be able to fill these up in states that aren’t California.

I experienced this myself - I knew a 2018 Honda Fit EX-L (the top trim) was perfect for what I needed, but other than there not being a ton of them made, most dealers wanted absurd amounts for them.

This. I would need to have an entire side table devoted to holding up these vertical consoles whereas all TV cabinets are designed for horizontal boxes.

In order for robotaxis to be the right way forward, significant investment needs to be made at the same time in buses, trains, biking, and walking infrastructure.

This. I’ve always liked Subarus, but hated that CVT was the only automatic they offered. That (and now their current exterior styling) was all that kept me from buying one.

The Element had a lot going for it. First, it was powered by arguably the best four-cylinder engine ever conceived of by humankind – the Honda K-series.

Yeah, I realize the distances weren’t comparable with the Glasgow example, that was just the only time I’ve seen transit meaningfully faster than driving.

Yeah, Penn Station to Manassas. There’s a commuter rail line that almost took me to where I needed to go, but it only runs during commute times when I looked at the schedule. Otherwise it would have required taking an Amtrak line to overshoot by a few miles and walk/bus back

Just turn your head and look where you are going. Your eyeballs have more definition, better depth perception, and provide better situational awareness than a wide-angle lens feed stuffed into an 8in screen will ever provide.
