Nothing but a money grab.

I'll give it that it is fast, but the best way I can describe it IMO is taking Stone Cold Steve Austin in his prime and having him becoming a professional ballerina.

Yea, the fake exhaust noise is ridiculous, but it goes way beyond that. At least they give you the option of turning that stupid noise off, unlike my MZ Daisy.

Oh, and a Tesla series 3 will smoke that thing for half the money. Not that I care.

Well... they're claiming the sea level is rising due to the polar ice caps melting, but I have my doubts. Obama just bought a $14 million mansion on a sea level island...

I don't understand why they, and other car manufacturers, would do this. On the Lexus, there is a knob for "ASC" (Active Sound Control). I didn't know what this was until recently, where it allows synthetic engine noise to come through the speakers. Just seems like a waste of engineering space to me, and ended up popping the knob off and disconnecting the wires for this altogether.

The 370Z's also come with a similar concept?

Of the many fails and "planned obsolescence" by Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep, the EV Charger takes the bakery.

So just for sh!ts and giggles, I test drove a new Acura Integra Type S. It's been a while since I have been in the driver's seat of a Honda, but this thing MOVES and is fun to drive! But, as with all modern cars, too much technology/electronics IMO.

I dont remember what year it started in the Z but I had it in 2017. It wasn't obnoxious like the Dodge, but it was there. If I remeber correctly the only way to disable it was to change out the radio head unit.

Yea, it seems like they're all putting wheels on a phone. When I was researching cars for my wife the biggest knock on the Mazda we got was there was no "touchscreen".

They didnt care about the rock solid reliability, a non turbo 4 banger and a REAL 6 speed auto ransmission. It was all about the size of the cup holders and no touchscreen.

Oh, and the $500 navigation system the dealer wanted push on me turns out to be a SIM Card I got off Amazon for $35. Works like a charm.

Yikes. I guess this is no different than the kids putting fart cans on their vehicles: All sound and no actionable purpose.

And this would absolutely piss me off.

This is one of the biggest reasons I am holding onto my Z. It seems like the 370Z's are the last to where it's lesser with the electronic components (compared to today's standards), a NA V6, and more of a driver's car vs a computer doing everything for me. I also don't like how all auto manufacturers are going from NA V8's to V6 turbo, NA V6's to I4 turbo, etc.
