That is nothing more than baseless myths.

The problem is you are looking at things all wrong. While a single standard may sound great in theory, it isn’t always in practice. For example, imagine we set a single standard of no car should be over 100 HP. States with lots of hills be damned right?

Counter point, look at the chart above. Honda, Subaru, Mazda, Nissan. All had major improvements in fuel economy. That shows japanese do care about improving fuel economy.

In the far far future, we will still be comparing how much horse power our inter-dimensional space cruisers have. Even when the last horse has gone extinct billions of years ago.

Notice the downward trend? Now care to guess what 2019 looks like?

Mustang sales are at an all time low. They figured if the brand is going to die anyways, why not make the best use of it?

The seat update has been minor. They are still quite unconformable.

The thing about the Bolt was, they refreshed it for 2020 and nothing really changed. Simple complaints like fixing the seats were not addressed.

Our electric grid can handle every car being electric just an fyi.

GM’s goal with the Bolt was to beat the Model 3 to market, they didn’t care about anything else. All their efforts failed so they rushed the job and released the LG Bolt. (Yes, LG Bolt, not GM, cause pretty much there are more LG parts in there than GM parts).

Yeah, the BMW i3 with REX option. I thought they discontinued it too but it seems REX option was discontinued only in Europe.

I tend to use a power only cable (never trusted usb ports), If I have to transfer files I either use bluetooth, wifi or microsd card.

One of these days, someone will make a bluetooth accessory that emulates manual for electric cars.

Volts are discontinued. Clarity PHEV is pretty much the only plugin hybrid with decent range left.

Heated seats are things you should activate before driving, and many cars already have that in their lcd menus instead of physical buttons.

Uhm, any conversion(gas or electric) is questionable on safety. Cause cars are designed on crash to crumple in a certain way. Just because “it fits” doesn’t mean it’ll collapse the same way as intended in a crash.

To answer your question:

Why do you need to cycle through menus?

The grid is well established virtually everywhere. Do your put in gas manually in your cars, or use an electric powered pump like most people?

It has to be american brand to be a muscle car, so a KIA would not count.
