Don’t forget “cellulose-based.” 

Sounds like run of the mill marketing puffery to me. 

One thing I like about BMW is that many of their region-specific functions are done completely in software. Which means something silly like the fogs turning off when you hit the brights can be changed through coding. Used to be you needed BMW-specific software and a laptop to run it on but now there are multiple iOS…

Allow me to speak from experience as someone who works out just as much as is required to be in this shape, but also enjoys carbs:

Just because Visa has caught fraudulent charges for you in the past doesn’t mean they’ll always catch them.

Regardless of the protections offered by some banks on debit cards, they are always inherently less protected than using credit cards, because they are directly connected to your checking account.

Honda for example has their multi-angle backup cameras that include a few different views. Birds-eye view of the rear bumper is one of them but there are two different angles of view of cameras pointed backwards so you can either see a panoramic view of what’s close in to the car, or a less zoomed-out view. 

Many cars already have multi-angle backup cameras for this purpose. 

Mini has a phone mount dealie they call the Click & Drive System.

There are some curves in the windows and roof.

It has curves and a fish mouth grille.

I parked next to an R50 Mini recently and was reminded just how positively tiny they are compared to my E92 335xi, and later modern Mini iterations. 

The HR-V back seat is cavernous compared to the CX-3. I haven’t sat in a C-HR.

I looked up the old and new 3 dimensions. They’re largely the same but the old one is a little taller and the new sedan got a little longer.

It looks like a newer version vs the system in my wife’s 2018 CX-5.

The rear quarter window is in fact a window. Not a big one, mind you, but it exists.

It’s the same climate controls as the 3 that the CX-30 shares a platform with. Their dashboards are almost identical.

Yes, the CX-3 is based on the 2. But that in and of itself doesn’t mean it needs to be so cramped inside. The HR-V is based on the Fit and both of those cars have super roomy back seats relative to their overall size.

The CX-30 is what the CX-3 should’ve been from the start. The CX-3 is so damn tiny. I’m 5'11" and with the driver’s seat set how I like it the only way to get into the back seat is to splay my legs on either side of the driver’s seat. Meanwhile plenty of other cars in the segment can fit regular sized adults in back ju…

In my totally unscientific opinion I feel like the American market loves assorted alphanumeric shit separate from car names that makes them feel like they’re in the know. Oh look at my Camaro ZL1! Oh look at my E39 M5! But the alphanumeric names, I feel like that’s less the case.
