Software stalling your car on purpose for no reason isn’t the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard of, but it’s in the top 10

Toyota PLEASE. Just make the BZwhatever not complete shit and sell it in my province. That’s all I’m asking! I don’t think I’m asking for much!

So useless. Just walk.

No harm in trying it out for the future GR cars. Can this transmission switch to the standard EV mode?

I’m not hating on this idea of fake transmissions but I just don’t get it. These auto manufacturers are spending all this money developing a fake manual transmission when most people don’t even want a REAL manual transmission. There’s only a handful of new cars that come with manual options. Why? Because no one wants them.

Besides that point, all it’s going to do is cost a bunch of extra money to the consumer. I guess if you want to spend your money this way, whatever, but I’m pretty hell-bent on the idea that if there’s an on/off button for this, it’ll never be used. I have a work Jeep that has the flappy paddle shifters that can be used, you know how often I use them? Never, because why would I? This is coming from a guy who has owned 4 vehicles in his entire life, all of which have manual transmissions. I just bought a brand new Tacoma with a stick. I love driving a manual, love being connected to the car, love racing my old Subaru around the track or at an AutoX, and absolutely am a ride-or-die manual transmission guy! But I never use those silly flappy paddles, because there’s no purpose. So, in my opinion, what’s the purpose of a fake manual? There is none. Other than the extremely occasional “this is kind of neat” then flips the off button for the remaining 99.9% of the drive.
