At least until the current newest Prius, they still felt and drove very much like economy cars. Not especially quiet or refined or comfortable, just merely fine. Capable and adequate but unremarkable. The Camry is quieter, smoother, more refined and yeah the top trims are approaching bargain lux.

They really didn't know when to stop with those rear lights. They were like "bigger? Bigger? Should we keep going and join them in the middle or nah?" and the decision to stop makes them look a little odd. If they were a third less long it would be decent but that they're 90% of the width just looks a little weird. As a whole though, not bad at all.

The CyberTruck is more poorly designed than a Ford Pento. Somehow they will be less reliable than a twin-turbo 13b. https://x.com/BlastYoBoots/status/1782542416949457370

^^^^ I’ve said for a while Americans just want a big leather couch with a lazy V8, and due to federal fleet standards those have died out in the old luxury coupe/sedan market for the domestics. So pickups and SUVs it is. Russian Bear posted:Who will make the mini mini van again. Like Mazda 5 sized or even a little shorter with sliding doors. Just wait until you can start importing Toyota Sientas and Honda Freeds from Japan, friend.

I’m not doubting, but I would want to see a better source for a systemic manufacturing or design issue which results in water pooling. For all we know the car in the twitter post could’ve been damaged. https://jalopnik.com/tesla-cybertruck-no-match-for-car-wash-1851417011 This source is better but still bad. All anecdotes, but there is a pattern. However there’s nothing about the warranty that would be affected by a carwash, so at least that part of the twitter post is embellished/false.

In another thread here in AI I forget which) someone posted more stuff that they had the bed off or something and then it rained, and they were actually doing some real off road type poo poo including going fast over a 4 foot drop.

I've just learned the Ioniq 5 N thing has an 'N Grin Boost' (I'm not lying about that name) button that give you 10 seconds of boost. It's like a slightly less cool GPX Cyberformula Spiral Boost setup... It's apparently 10 seconds of boost, 10 seconds for it to 'recharge' and you can mash again for more go.

Kraftwerk posted:I'm wondering what the value proposition of the new Camry will be when the Prius exists. I can answer this. My wife has a Prius and I have a Camry hybrid. We use my car for longer trips as the cabin is more spacious and comfortable, and I have heated seats. Her car is great for trips around town and she can fit stuff in the hatch that I can't in my trunk. Both are great cars and we have been very happy with them.

I can’t remember if it’s Hyundai on the i5n or not but one of those manufacturer “turbo” buttons can only be used like, 500 times before it’s locked out forever.

As far as the US goes, Mazda did make some bizarre choices like selling a diesel so the precedent is there. Chinese made vehicles get something like 27% import tax and China is persona non grata in American politics, I doubt that selling the new 6 here is a good business decision.
