Love this list.  I agree with basically all of them.  One item missing, which could be thrown in with the “overly complicated exterior designs”, is fake vents, grilles, diffusers, etc.  Examples, Toyota Supra & Toyota Camry with their fake black plastic fillers that look like vents.  Very tacky.  Mercedes & BMW have…

Those late fees & penalties add up fast! It’s easier just to pay tolls on time and try not to evade, but that’s just me.

168 kwh & 229 kwh battery.  Wow, that’s gonna challenge the Hummer EV for obesity. 

I’m surprised I haven’t seen any strip clubs with charging stations yet.  There’s a great way to keep patrons spending more time. 

Atomic silver is a nice shade of a typically bland color.

I like Massachusetts. New Jersey used to be that way but now they only check older cars every 2 years and they don’t check as much as they used to.  I seems like they pretty only check emissions and make sure it has 4 tires and it runs.  

Cars blocking out noise and also, overall, drivers are too often preoccupied with doing other things while driving which takes their attention away such as texting, infotainment, loud music, phone calls.   When I first started driving in the 90s it was great, no phone ringing to bother you while driving, no texting,…

Toyota is not bland.....it’s even more busy stylistically than Honda.  Majority of Toyota products have cuts, creases, and fake vents all over the place.

Soul Red is a gorgeous color. If Mazda paint will still crack by looking at it, I would wrap the whole car in PPF.   Close to the Soul Red is a similar shade I saw recently on a 2022/2023 Lexus IS. 

All the way back to the 90's, I would go with Mazda being a “Premium” car maker.  Even in the 90's there designs were clean and punched above their price class.  The mid to late 90s MX-6 still looks good today, the RX-7 of the 90s clean & timeless design, and then the 929 and Millenia which, if I remember right, were…

Toronto Pearson Airport could turn it into a Airport Lounge, call it Red Square.

Noticed this same at my local Lowe’s last week. It was just installed a few weeks ago. Home Depot is probably right behind in doing it. Sad state the retail industry is in, in relation to rampant theft. I see a Sam’s Club/Costco  model coming soon to more retailers where at the exit someone check’s receipts.  Our…

Personally, like you I don’t find much wrong with Auto Stop/Start systems. Worked fine on my previous ‘17 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Have it currently on a ‘20 Acura RDX which I’ve learned to finesse the brake pedal so it doesn’t activate when I don’t want it to. And works good on my Audi A5 also. seems to save gas.…

A million isn’t really that much. And looks can be deceiving or shall I say some people just live cheap, which is all good. Obviously this guy was a show-off since he was clearly flaunting wealth, money, and his Jaguar on dating website.    I say looks can be deceiving because in the 90's I used to work at a Luxury…

90's was also peak Pontiac greatness. Products were getting better and you still got all the cheesy feature advertisements all over the exterior of Pontiac’s.......ABS badges, valve count, cylinder count badges, etc.

What about Mitsu Eclipse, Eagle Talon, Honda Prelude?    All were ridiculously popular in the 1990's and died out in the 2000's. 

Similar story.  Generally only drive 8 miles each way to work each day. So a EV like the Lexus RZ wouldn’t be a problem.  Still would only need to charge probably once a week.   Even though, in reality 200 miles of range is fine, when you have EV’s that are giving 300ish and some 300+ miles of range for less or…

Manual cars used to have some advantages. First, was the fuel economy. Manual cars up until 10-15 years ago generally had better fuel economy, mainly I am assuming due to greater number of forward gears, 5 or 6 forward gears vs. generally 4-5 for automatics. Second, less complexity. Manuals were and still are I’m…

Hopefully your 2 your old stays car crazy. My son used to be, and still “thinks” he is a car nut, but reality is much different. He still loves cars but could care less about learning how to drive manual on my 3-series, doesn’t bother learning about features, and so on. Hopefully as your son grows older he doesn’t…

Tesla: I admire the products for how they have revolutionized the automobile and has made every manufacturer think electric.
