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?

There bigger the screen for me, the safer it is to gaze over at directions. I wouldn’t drive without directions telling me which way is fastest. No way can a human predict traffic better than computers.

If cars were designed so you actually had visibility, you wouldn’t Need 500 cameras just to reverse.

This is why 2000s was peak. You had most creature comforts, and tech wasn’t shoved in our faces, and you could actually see out of your car.
