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.

lol “heart of the car” gtfo

rear view cameras are nice (though unnecessary), but literally NOTHING else about “infotainment” is worth the extra cost. you think it is because you’ve been convinced you just simply can’t survive without it, and cars can’t even exist without it. why? because $$$

fuck outta my face with that shit

so, my takeaway from all this is that toyota is still the best way to go if you for some reason just have to buy a “infotainment” car

Maps/navigation is the one feature that infotainment systems have that is a step up and worth a small amount of cost.
