I hate that parking brake switch because my brain can't figure out if it or down corresponds to on or off

It's not on the level of some other button walls posted but I was not expecting it when I looked in the window. But then I'm a poor so looking into a Porsche was quite a treat for me until they came out shaking a can of nickels and using a water bottle to get me away from the car

It's the same as a manual one. Pull to engage, push to disengage.

Yes, it would be cool (no pun intended) to flip up a cover switch to change the cockpit temp.

Those button blanks are like low end kenworth poo poo. It just tells you there are cool options you don't have. They should fill every single one with random buttons even if they do nothing but but turn on the dome light or some poo poo. Then again, i'm neurotic to the point where i had each driving light on it's own switch to fill out the switch panel.

That's one good thing about touchscreen control. No random blanks in the car for features you don't have.

New money making idea: put random button blanks in the touchscreen GUI, sell buttons through software updates. Somebody get Elon on the phone! I think i just invented paid car DLC Standard: one wiper speed, 2 blanked out buttons $199.95: 3 buttons. Fast. Medium, and slow. Powershift fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Feb 6, 2019 |

My wife and I have the poverty Macan and it's honestly a fantastic car. The interior is great, the steering is worlds better than the Q5/X3, and it's also got a ton of space with the seats down. If I knew I'd be driving it as much as I am we would have gotten the S, but that's just being greedy. Even the base model is plenty for everyday driving to the mall am I rite.

I just dont get Subaru. (As Im looking forward to checking out the redesigned Forester XT last year) "No one buys the turbo model, so we are getting rid of it!" So I went out and bought a CRV instead. Subaru proceeds to then make a turbo Ascent and now a turbo 2020 Legacy.

Well that config f-150 which weighs the same has a GVWR of 6650lbs, so yeah, it's pretty close. The ascent is rated to tow 5000lbs so i would imagine what's required of that contributes to it's curb weight and GVWR.
