That video is on point and I was thinking about this a few months ago. At least with cell phones they would push out software updates but all this tech they shoving into cars nowadays is being pushed out by the manufacturer who have no plans to keep the tech updated in your car. Its a ticking time bomb as to when it eventually dies and you're stuck with a brick of a vehicle. I was pricing those F150s and Ford Raptors and was shocked how high trucks are now. shyt 70K-80K for a pick up is nuts and thats just entry level to some of em. The cost of vehicles is crazy nowadays. All I need is bluetooth in my car, a sunroof, and a backup camera.

Baffles me that Scion was swept away because it had the goal of keeping cars $20k and less with this very way of thinking. The most advanced bit was the radio, and that was simple after-market shyt.

You really don't need anything else.
scions did not sell well and they were ugly :yeshrug:

They sold well initially. The tC never got a redesign in ten or so years (guess why sales dipped) and the initial boxy car xB got changed with features buyers didn't want in 2007 and then sales dipped.

Their two biggest selling vehicles in a low model lineup were crushed by corporate ineptitude more than anything. The tC should have been a tuner dream but they continued to let it rot.

This is why its better to lease than buy, lease for two years, when all that electric stuff dies out, its probably time to return the car anyway. :obama:
