>>16514294
Reminds me of my old 2002 Chrysler 300M's interior. Had a bunch of fake wood paneling combined with fake chrome trim that would peel as the years went on. It got particularly bad around the door handles.
>mfw actually wasn't that bad of a car. very comfy land barge

>>16514345
I love buttons for every single thing in my car. And the plastic feeling of the fake chrome is great, it keeps it lighter, and when it cracks or fades from being cheap plastic sourced from china, you can just pull it off and replace it since it's only glued on. Truly the pinnacle of american car manufacturing, how does ford do it?

Lately I've seen a big talk about the new Fiata and the new Miata.
This made me wondering /o/: what's the deal with roadsters? Who are they targeted at?
>they're small
>they're expensive
>they're not very flexible
The younger part of the driving population might be the one that might desire such type of car more strongly, but at the same time it's the one that has less financial power, and roadsters ain't cheap, especially when there are hatchbacks that cost half as much and offer way more than just two seats and no trunk space; sure hatchbacks might not be as fun to drive as roadsters, but you might want to get something more out of your investment than just some fun and a charisma boost, especially when you can afford just one brand new car (let's ignore the used cars market, because car manufacturers don't profit out of that with their newest models).

>Who are they targeted at?
Employed 20 somethings who still live at home with disposable cash.
Professional 30 somethings that want something sporty, fun and have zero need for anything practical.
Hairdressers.
Men in their 40's and 50's who want to pretend they're in their 20's and 30's again.
Housewives in their 40's and 50's who no longer have kids living at home and their entire existence is getting their hair done and yoga.

>Hairdressers.
Nice meme.
>Employed 20 somethings who still live at home with disposable cash.
The point remains: why not a sporty (?) hatchback?
>Professional 30 somethings that want something sporty, fun and have zero need for anything practical.
Do they actually exist in such large numbers?
>Men in their 40's and 50's who want to pretend they're in their 20's and 30's again.

Makes sense, although it's sad.

I need an android head unit for torque and free google maps. I feel like the market is flooded with noname chinkshit based on the hardware of the old raspberry pi. Where do I find head units with more power than my 90s flip phone? I'm willing to pay a lot more than the 300 bucks all of the chink head units cost, but I just can't find something high quality.

Sony has a new headunit around $500 capable of running Android auto or Apple Carplay, which lets your phone do the heavy lifting. No clue is android auto lets you use the torque app, but it's worth looking into.

Requires a cable connection with the phone, limited to mirroring basic navigation, call function and music. Torque is my highest priority.
