In the future we'll all be driving Cyberpunk 2077 Nomad cars with no windows and holographic projections on the inside where the windows should be.

GM had an option to add a rear camera view to the rear view mirror because the visibility out of the tiny slit back window was so bad otherwise.

I settled on using the rear camera mirror on a Camaro SS rental because of the limited visibility through the standard mirror. Camera mirrors would've been preferable for the side mirrors too because of how tiny the side mirrors were

Wake up babies that tired parents managed to finally put down. Interrupt work calls that people may be taking from their home office. Ensure that night shift worker has a spectacularly lovely day for their minimum wage job stocking shelves at Walmart tomorrow. Make everyone around you miserable while you play with your nosiemaker, consume fossil fuels, and dump noxious gases into the local air for no other reason than wanting to be a dick. See how with a Mustang.

Speaking of the dead - the Kia Stinger, the car every online enthusiast wanted, is dead after 2023. I said it would just be another version of the Mazda 929 but it appears I was wrong - it was even less successful than that car here. Who knew that nobody actually wanted a fat 5dr. fastback sedan with horrendous reliability? I do seem to recall it’s boosters saying it would kill off the 86/BRZ( two cars it, uh, doesn’t actually compete with). I wonder what they have to say now.

I do seem to recall it’s boosters saying it would kill off the 86/BRZ( two cars it, uh, doesn’t actually compete with). I wonder what they have to say now. Dang, are they known to have reliability problems? I haven't had any with my 2018 but I haven't put a ton of miles on it either. 2023 is the last MY but I was honestly surprised it made it that far, I was expecting it to be killed off for 2022. I figured people like me who wanted a fast and fun family sedan with the utility of a liftback would snatch one up, then after a few thousand units we'd all have our fill and they'd get back to making more boring suv's. I've been on a stinger forum website since well before the car's release and never saw a single person imply it'd be competing with the 86, but to be fair there are a lot of dumb car forums out there. I will say I just put the summer wheels back on it earlier this week and the pilot sport 4's are such a nicer ride than the blizzaks I use in the winter. Edit: I guess this wasn't a reliability issue but I did completely forget the part where they messed up the yellow paint at the factory and had to repaint all the metal body panels for which they wrote me a $5k check for the hassle. I enjoyed the money but was surprised considering how great the paint on my 2012 optima is still doing. davebo fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Apr 22, 2023 |

I asked my mechanic about Stingers and he said they are amazing for the first 30k miles and after that they kind of poo poo the bed. He said they just haven't figured out how to build for reliability and are still sorting out a lot of issues they've carried over from the past. The newer generations look great but don't really hold up over time at least from what he's told me. Which is great because I was there for an oil change on our 2023 Sorento.

Given that it has a 10y/100k powertrain warranty are people getting two transmissions and a turbo replacement under warranty or something?

Getting the dealers to honor the warranty is a gigantic pain in the rear end. We have a leak in the oil pan and something is up with the front brakes and the dealer is being dodgy about even looking at either of those items.

The four cylinder is the same Theta-II from the Optima/Sonata/Santa Fe etc and there is a class action for catastrophic failure on those.

Yeah I guess that's worrying but I've got 99k miles on the theta II engine (which had a recall issue but mine's been fine) with no issues. Stinger only has 16k but now that I'm carting my kid back and forth to school the miles will start adding up eventually. Guess I'll hope for the best. When choosing a pre-school-through-5th-grade my wife gave me the suggestions of a church school that'd be shorter distance, sitting in traffic with a ton of stoplights on the same street I drove to work for 20 years, or a secular school that'd be more miles, but shorter time, going against morning traffic, on the road in Maryland that inspired the song "Country Road" then turns to one with a huge chicane that my son calls "the big turn." I told her I was more comfortable with a secular education. The Stinger may not be my old Corvette, but it sure beats the SUV's all the other parents have.
