Besides the obvious fact these trucks are too huge for European roads and parking spaces, America vehicles are simply hot garbage.

The Japanese and Korean vehicles for the American market aren’t any better to be fair.

the “newest” car i’ve ever owned is from 2008… are hondas and toyotas really equally as shitty as fucking dodge and chevy now?

Toyota, particularly, hasn’t kept up with advances in infotainment technology. Their infotainment is literally no better than it was in 08. Honda infotainment is slightly better, but still stick with terribly low resolution, and only a 9”ish screen. Power much any other company will be a better buy than those 2 right now. Remember, the infotainment in every new car is the entire heart of the car, so you’re forced to live with it; you can’t just swap out infotainment screens for something better like you used to be able to do.

Do people actually want infotainment screens?

The only thing I can think of wanting a screen for is a backup camera. I much prefer buttons when possible. I thought infotainment screens were just a way for manufacturers to save money on buttons. Why would you want one? Is there something I’m missing?

How do you like to get to new places? Turn by turn audio? That mixed with on-screen directions?

If you like on screen, what is the ideal screen size?

@brbposting @Taldan Reading a paper map and looking up directions before you drive and then remembering them are critical skills that should be on driving tests.
