Indeed. At the rate the automakers are going, I’m never going to buy a brand new car ever again- I’m going to find me a late 80’s or early 90’s vehicle and restore it just so I don’t have to worry about such stupid things as a subscription for heated seats (BMW) or ads playing on the infotainment center as fed from the manufacturer (ford) and just plain spying one me (… ALL of them.)
I actually do have a rant sitting on my home PC regarding my “ideal” new (to me) vehicle, and it’s pretty radical.
