For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, with most of the ire directed toward in-car infotainment.

On TikTok I’ll sometimes see some really nice older vehicles that have either been restored or just reeeaalllyyy taken care of and it kind of makes me miss when cars were a lot more simple. Don’t get me wrong, I love my newer car and having some kind of warranty but that won’t last forever

    There was a period when cars were almost modular. Each component a discretely independent part. They might not have been exactly plug and play, but they were all super integrated with each other and every piece molded into the dash. If you wanted a stereo, it was single or double din.

    Now if I want to replace something I either need to fab up or order some custom trim piece for everything. They've covered everything they could in plastic.
