BMW Is Giving Up on Heated Seat Subscriptions Because People Hated Them::The blowback worked—but subscriptions for software-based new car features will continue, according to a BMW board member.
Cars peaked in 2004 or 2005, most cars since then seem to be user data collection engines with wheels attached.
Peak car was 1990-1994, largely mechanical, little electronics and reliable as hell. My Merc from that time is built like a tank and everything is screwed together, not glued.
The 1990 Honda Civic may be the most reliable car of all time. Sadly it’s also easily stolen with nothing but a screwdriver, but still!
early '90s? nah, give me fuel injection, catalytic converter, ABS, and airbags, please
Yes, all on board (except for the airbag) in my 1992 Benz.
