Actually, the more evil they are, the more interesting and edgier the advertising. Saab, once the kindest automaker of them all, has the craziest advertising.

Decent third world drivers will flash their hazard lights if they are really stopping for emergency. Just wait until scammers and robbers start to imitate this.

That CNN is a huge killer in this case. The car will hunt for sensational news instead of podium position. And then there is the SAP AG... the confusing German ERP system that can only work brilliantly provided one “all correct” setting, which is nearly impossible like million-tiled Rubick’s cube.

My point is, people are now complaining about “enormous wheels” which is number 7 in this list. Yet, before all of these fakery debacles, they are the one who scream “murder” when car manufacturers decide to modify the sleek styling from the concepts they shown earlier than the production model. These “trends” that…

Big wheels?

Can’t complain when Porsche is part timing a shady job. Hey, everybody’s got to make a living right?

That chrome. The local Toyota brochure call it “garnish”, which makes me puke. The worst offender: “AC vents chrome garnish”

The Hyundai Tucson is like that Acura too. Stupid integrated screen which splits the ACs outward. All the middle vents do is blowing chilled air to my left hand, slowly numbing it (LHD country) or in this case, the driver’s right hand. They just don’t blow correctly to the rear cabin.

I have to agree on “plucked in” screen. I mean, look at that minimalist comforting interior design. It doesn’t have to integrate stupid massive screen that requires you to look down everytime you want to glance at the monitor for direction. That Mazda is perfect, because the screen height is on level with the…

So, enthusiasts will still cry out about handling. There is no substitute for lightness and the eagerness of a light car to change direction and respond predictably to an input. But I have to concur that after 2012, many manufacturers learn from Ford Fiesta.

My right foot stays at brake and bends right to tip the gas pedal. Now, many Toyotas have that cheap hanging gas pedal instead of the floor pedal (‘organ type’) as in most European cars. It is slightly difficult for the lazy-footed to properly apply enough pressure on that type of pedals.

This is a piece of thoughtless design.

Well Toyota, this is a Lexus... we want to adjust our AC fan speed precisely! You gave us silly pointer joystick over dials and knobs to give us more control, yet you only gave us this “smaller” and “bigger” fan button, press the big one repeatedly to increase the fan speed, and…

That is not ugly at all.

Yes, but US is also the place that spawns Grown Ups the sequel. Arguably far more rubbish. FF series are going more from “car movie with criminal case sub-plot” into “movie about terrorism plot with a lot of cars”. The premise of super soldier guy vs. street racer gang is already ridiculous. But you will never read it…

LOL, sponsored by my tax money. Pertamina really needs to commission a more interesting logo.

So, strangling your partner and smashing his/her head against a window could win you a NASCAR race. How can it be so simple? Being prevented from doing such violence means burdening you from winning a race?

A SUV like this is usually rolled on the street to show your wealth. Therefore, flashy exterior is a must. In the previous Escalade, the interior was rather meh! Plastics everywhere, as if it wanted to say, “look at me! I am everything but nothing inside.”

Nah, it is just trying too hard now. The original type-R looks decent and cool enough with a little bit of craziness. This looks more like a factory garnished rice.

I don't think it is caused by "lazy journalism".

Lewis is doing Nico a favour here. He poses a smug face in order to make Nico less hate-able.
