Car Trends That Annoy You

[K E]

HUGE grills. Looking at you, BMW.



Seriously, the fuck is that? Looks like a pig snout. Unless you're a car from the '50's stop it.

Fake vents. Especially on shitty cars like Civic, Camry and the Celica 86.



(with apologies to blue boost)

Those stupid wank factor dynamic indicators or whatever they're called. Who in the fuck cares enough to pay hundreds of dollars to change the way your indicator blinks. I've heard it costs $800 on Audis?

Fake exhausts. Euro cars are notorious for this shit. See them a lot of Mercs.

What annoys me is the backfiring of the sequential gear box that all the Europe cars have especially the VW.

Huge grilles are to detract from the every growing emblems. Mercs and Mazda I'm looking at you mainly. New models it's almost the bloody size of your head!

1. Driving aids making lazy drivers even lazier:
Lane Departure Warning = now I can drive with one hand.
Blind Spot Monitoring = Fuck checking my blind spot, I'm sure this will do it for me.
Automatic Parking / Assisted Parking = If you need this, you need to hand in your license.
Reversing Cameras = I can *kinda* see a need in some cars, or I dunno, maybe design cars with better visibility.

2. SUVs in suburbia for no decent reason.
My folks have one, but then again it's because it's easier for them to get in and out of compared to a regular sedan.
For most though, its a wank factor and they often have smaller boots even than medium sized hatcbacks!

3. Driving lights that can be turned on WITHOUT full headlights.

4. Everything else you mentioned in OP.

Have you heard the Focus RS and Hyundai i30Ns? I'll admit, they sound unreal when they bang as it's more of a pop and whistle as the turbo gases recirculate.

VW owners tend to do it to Golf Rs/GTIs just to be fucking annoying though. Blame variable valve exhaust systems like the Varex for that (despite them being illegal for road use) as they don't pass EPA testing.

A marketing trend they specifically aim at female car enthusiasts... love heart exhaust tips!

Really, best sound? I hate the sound of Hilary Clinton's voice....

New cars with Foot or Electronic handbrakes.

Talk about taking all the fun out of it for teenager P platers!!

The lack of simple, cheap, lightweight, RWD cars.

When the designer says "fuck it, make the whole front bumper a grill".

Fucking disgusting.

Of the emblem of the car manufacturer about 3km wide. Mazda and Mercedes I'm looking at you.

Where's the dislike button?

Such a nothing, douche feature. And I've heard they're 800-1000 bucks 9n Audis.

I know mate, very annoying. Putting nice lights on cars does nothing to improve the performance.

Apparently there is a reason behind it. Because some vehicles have daytime driving lights and/or rear fog lights built into the main headlight / rear light assembly.

By making them an active light, it grabs other drivers attention so they take notice, rather than blending in like a traditional blinker can in some instances.

Modern automotive industry.
All about safety and economy.
>The passion, the romance of travel, of driving has been stolen from us, and most are not only oblivious, it's fucking celebrated!
Fuck gen 5 automation!
Bring back carbys.

I'm seeing those sequential lighting indicators becoming very common these days. It's actually annoying. I can accept that on an expensive/exotic car they would want something different, but having it on a normal everyday car is increasing.
