So, they’re TRYING to discourage enthusiasts? Noted. And accomplished. 

Yeah, the ‘98 2.5RS was Subaru’s toe-dipping into “performance” for the US market.

NEXT gen WRX? It’ll probably be an electric crossover, if there is one.

Wow...as I have been selling new cars since 2006...lets see:

How do they afford the big SUV and the expensive hobbies? It looks like Mom is the only one with a real job!

Let’s be real though. Consider all the lifted trucks out there... it’s probably not much of a stretch to say that most never go off-road... I almost respect* a lifted truck with road tires more than a lifted truck with knobby tires because at least they’re fitting.

Why do you want a car so tall that you have to rappel yourself into the cab like Batman every time you have to pick up some groceries? you will have such a high center of gravity in an emergency avoidance situation that you are GUARANTEED to roll at the slightest attempt at turning?

Very obvious but SUVs and crossovers. I’ve always respected serious off roaders like Jeeps, Landcruisers and Range Rovers but the current tall car fad is a horrible direction for the auto industry and humanity as a whole. It seems like vanity sizing for cars - people are fatter and fatter and their cars increasingly…

Type R Kubota. Does wonders on the farm

I think all of these examples are inside jokes and pranks, sadly the 7series is the worse offender, the only one here proving your point...

Fake exhaust tips. Drives me absolutely insane.

Eliminating door molding and impact strips. You could hurl a shopping cart at relativistic velocities at most 90's cars and do almost nothing. Now it will scratch paint or ding metal from nearly any angle.

Ill never understand the rationale for the fake badging. Dude, everyone who cares about seeing a GT-R badge knows your Toyota isn’t one.

Early to mid 00’s when it seemed like every kid was throwing a coffee can exhaust/res delete on their 4 cyl base model that wasn’t a sport compact. Civic, Cavalier, Golf. It didn’t matter, they all sounded like garbage.

boring sedans ignore trying to make the whole thing nice looking and instead spend all of the time designing a predator style overwrought grill and headlights. Car shopping has become picking which front end looks least ugly.

Gibson wasn’t great at his grasp of technology overall - his real knack was looking at odd ways society responds to a changing environment, even if that environment winds up being his mistaken impressions of where tech goes.

Gibson’s gone on the record as saying that line was based on childhood memories of his parents B&W Motorola TV in a wooden cabinet. Silvery green-grey, eerily phosphorescent.

Ugh. One of my favorite books ever. Hands down, no contest. One of the most ground breaking and genre defining books of all time (someone should do a comparison of sci-fi before and after this book). But this movie can’t possibly seem fresh as it has been so influential on sci-fi ever since that what was actually an…

Gibson’s story, about a futuristic hacker on a secret mission against an advanced artificial intelligence
