  • I mean that’s my disappointment with the new Tacoma that’s coming out soon. It’s great that they have a hybrid now, but it’s full of electronic crap now that used to be mostly isolated to certain components.

    Now the entire gauge cluster is a screen, it’s sad.

    I was legitimately going to buy a brand new one in the next year or two when I’m back in the US, and I’ve never bought a new car. now I guess I have to get a 2023 model or earlier. I bet any of the 2016-2023 generation lasts longer than the 2023-2030ish generation.

    Honestly I don’t even like trucks but the biggest pull for me was that the Tacoma was still pretty old school for a new vehicle, and that it could go anywhere kinda rough.




  • Genuinely who the fuck is spending that much on a car? My wife and I make over $200k combined and we feel that buying a new Honda civic seems overly frivolous at like $23k. She has a 2006 Toyota because it still works fine.

    And I’m truly not saying this to come off poorly, I just can’t believe that the average new car is $48k, that’s just insane. If I feel like it would set us relatively-lucky high-earners back to buy a new civic, who are these average people?
