  • Ignore the fake stick shift, what the hell happened to Toyota? They used to make reliable, economic, no-bullshit cars. They invented (or popularized) the hybrid.

    So Toyota missed the EV trend. We’d all be crazy rich now if we had predicted the rise of Tesla, so I guess this one can be forgiven.

    I’m not a car-enthusiast. What I want from a car is less controls and distraction. A stick shift is more work for the driver, but logical. It exists for a reason. You can argue that automatic is a better solution for the problem, but when you learned to drive a manual, it works.

    Also, 99% of the time, the stick works the same one any model from any manufacturer. It is expected.

    I don’t get why people would want such gimmicks. The Toyota fake stick may be extreme and doesn’t fit the brand image at all; but many carmakers tend to treat EVs as toys; not real cars…
