We’re not…but when there’s a QOTD for best generational change, I’m right there with you.  The 6 went front ugly in 2013 to something that is still the nicest looking midsize sedan on the market today for the 2014 model.

Oh, sure, they “bleed static discharge off of an aircraft.” But we all know the real reason.

It was BLM. Duh.

Don’t worry, the conservatives will declare this as staged as in Wag the Dog./s

Yeah, I have to fight a lot of stereotypes in order to drive one lol.

Even Tesla fans are aware of this, and make jokes about “Elon time” and so forth. 

I am a former BMW user who uses signals religiously, and I STILL endorse this comment.

Bravo

“Triple-Turn-Signal” in BMWs. 3 signals is not nearly enough times to let other drivers know what action you are going to commit and for them to react. 

Massive touchscreens, eliminating hard buttons.

I loved it in both of my Silverado’s and still love it in my Cruze

The auto-dimming high-beams on my wife’s Lexus ES300h sound like a neat idea, but in practice they are completely useless, brightening and dimming at completely random times... and mostly staying dim when you’re on an empty, winding, rural back-road.

Dashboards lit during the daytime. Can’t figure out why car makers would do that. Used to be the dash was only lit when the lights came on. Combine that outdated datum with bright DRL’s that work just enough on a lit road. It creates the problem of people driving around at night or at dusk without their lights on.

A poorly tuned ACC system is way more annoying than having regular old cruise control. I enjoy the system in my Audi, but my fathers Acura MDX ACC is awful. It doesn’t transition smoothly, the brake applications are jerky and the throttle inputs are uneven and excessive at times. A rental Pilot (which I’m assuming

Automatice windshield wipers. I pretty much always have to override them because they won’t turn on or turn off when I think they should.

automatic start-stop that resets on ON whenever you start the car 

Speed sensing steering...
