Keep these Stupid American Trucks out of Europe - Lemmy.World

Please help keeping these monsters of our streets.

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.

9 inch infotainment is plenty. The purpose of a car is to travel, not watch SpongeBob Squarepants.

Infotainment replacements are out there, but often lack support for some specific vehicle options. If the connections were more standardized like the old radios it would certainly be nice.
