In this Ideal episode, they delve into the infuriating car trends that are like a bad smell you just can't shake. From automakers locking basic features like heated seats and performance behind monthly paywalls to BMW's about-turn on subscription plans, the car industry seems to be heading in a perplexing direction. But fear not, as some manufacturers are reintroducing physical buttons, a welcome return to a simpler time when you could adjust your AC without navigating through a maze of touchscreen menus. And let's not forget the impending extinction of the manual gearbox, a sad reality that leaves us yearning for the good old days of gear levers and clutch pedals.
The excessive use of plastic cladding on SUVs may have seemed like a good idea at some point, but it's now becoming a nuisance, trapping dirt and fading over time. Under the hood, gone are the days of admiring a beautifully exposed engine bay, replaced by plastic covers that shield the magic happening beneath. Luxury cars sporting oversized grills akin to a hungry whale shark have become a common sight, with many of these imposing front ends serving more as a design statement than a functional cooling system. And let's not forget the absurdity of fake plastic vents and exhausts adorning modern cars, a trend that needs to be shown the door.
Headlights have also undergone a transformation, evolving into complex and costly components that house intricate LED setups and embellishments. The era of low-profile tires may have been ushered in by enthusiasts and street racers, but now even mainstream manufacturers are jumping on the bandwagon, sacrificing comfort for aesthetics. And with the dwindling availability of affordable new cars, the automotive landscape seems to be shifting towards unattainable price points, leaving enthusiasts longing for a budget-friendly option. Lastly, the debate over start-stop systems rages on, with their questionable fuel economy gains and intrusive nature causing frustration among drivers.
