Yeah, nightmare is a little strong... I don’t see how this is anything a good, red blooded ‘murican hobbyist couldn’t build themselves (maybe minus the full auto part)

SWEET!

Yep. Fine, offer idiots less gauges, but the offer the rest of us MORE gauges. I shouldn’t need to be installing a scangauge in my vehicles to monitor pressures and temperatures that aren’t normally displayed, but are ALL monitored.

I remember a few years back some kids rappelled into a warehouse somewhere in the Bay Area and stole Guy Fieri’s Lamborghini. The ring leader was pretty young too. Had a storage container somewhere filled with stolen shit, counterfeit money, etc. Then his crew tried to bust him out of juvie by blasting a hole in the…

Thieves crashed a car INTO the Wells Fargo main branch’s Museum to steal Gold Rush nuggets a while back. Probably the would be Bullitt thieves thought it would be too derivative, worst thing is to be passé in SF. Would have been more apt, of course. Also no Ford dealers in town. 

Wait, this didn't happen in downtown SF?

Please tell me the police gave chase in a Charger.

Found the perpetrator

Well aren’t you just a joyful ray of sunshine.

Fuck that, Ford has this continued desire to keep dumbing down the gauge cluster. Saavy consumers, more and more are struggling to find an acceptable replacement to the bygone era of analog gauges recreated on a digital display, without cramming them into a poorly thoughtout format. I understand this is just a ‘mode’…

This is going to be really negative, so prepare yourselves... but I hate everything about that U/I design.  It looks like it was made for a Fisher Price toy, which was copied from an off-brand video game made 10 years ago.

I like the theory, but this is far, far too blue. Make it red on black for the sake of night driving and I’m more on board.

Isn’t “Masterpiece” just the trim level? The car looks like its actually called the Mohave.

As opposed to the reputation that had 20 years ago: “Jesus, Kia!”

Given it says Mojave, it looks like this is basically a concept trim. I’m not sure how it’s worse than Autobiography, Platinum, Excellence, or Black Label.

I was hoping for something, more.... nuanced.... than that, but it’ll work, I guess.

You have reason to doubt that Kia just produced the absolute pinnacle of automotive design and manufacturing? Jaded much? 

BECAUSE GTR.

Just rent a Home Depot truck when you actually need to haul stuff.

This will make it all better:
