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 stuck with terribly low resolution, and only a 9”ish screen. Pretty 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.

Silly me, thinking that the engine would be the heart of a car.

What would you even need that for?

People today have no idea what engine they even have. They care more about the screen size in the interior.

Modern humans 🙄

The engine is a part of the legs in this analogy
