My complaint about almost all new vehicles. Paint them the same color. Take the name badges off.
And, they all look alike. Can’t tell a Kia from a Chevy, from a Ford, from a Hyundai, from a Jaguar....
All over tech’ed, over priced, and uninspired.

I can’t find the picture, but somebody did a vehicle outline overlay of several recent cars of the same year but different brands. Each outline in the overlay was labeled with the car name. There was barely a smidgen of difference in the shapes.

Agree it’s better and cheaper to buy a restored classic car or truck that is of higher quality than it came from the factory.

The need to back off all the bling and other useless items and use higher quality electronic devices most come from China.

Recalling the commercial (maybe BMW, maybe Mercedes, not sure) which showed a few dozen mini SUVs waiting in the after-school pick-up lane. All were silver in color except the advertiser’s vehicle which was black. All the kids came running out looking for the right cars except one kid who went directly to the black one and hopped in. And as it pulled away, the voiceover said, “Stand out from the crowd.”

Haha, they had to paint it a different color to stand out.
