My lights turn on in a really dark underpass on a freeway here and when I get into my underground parking lot and also on cloudy days.

8.) Automatic headlamps

And don't forget the stuff specifically designed in and for, and built in, the US under foreign names. Accords, Altimas, Sonatas, Tundras, etc. All great new cars, all as American as they come. It's amazing some "patriotic" people still buy Mexican built cars by the thousands as long as it has Big 3 badge on it, but…

I would add:

The auto industry has been globalizing for decades. Virtually all cars contain parts from overseas regardless of what country they're assembled in.

"They don't make them like they used to."

That

They all look the same.

Worst misconception?

(Country name here) always makes cars and trucks that are (generalization here)

Premium fuel makes any car run better. BS. If it's not tuned for it, there's no point.

You HAVE to change your oil every 3,000miles or 5,000km. BS, even with dino oil, but especially with synthetics.

The look created an uproar when it was unveiled earlier this year. Chrysler explained it intentionally crafted a design to elicit love-it or hate-it reactions to make some noise.

Old people. No really. This isn't a Toyota beige as much as it's old people should start getting mandatory checkups for reaction times and healthy every year past 70 who drive. They fail, license revoked, keys taken away if necessary. We had to pry the keys from my grandfather's hand but after he almost ran over some…
