There are various car makers in the world. Each and every one of these car makers always want to stand out amongst the rest in one way or the other, hence the competition.

These car makers introduce new features as the years passes by in a bid to make their car better and to suit the demands and tastes of their customers. Most of the times, the make sense, other times, they just overdo. In a bid to make some features top notch, they end up complicating things. A lot have been added to the modern cars to make them appear or serve better of which make the cars more luxurious and more interesting to use.

One thing is sure; you can’t just have it all in one car. One thing must be traded for the other.

Today, we want to talk about some of the things we consider to be the worst trends in these newer cars produced recently.

We ask again, are these the worst trends in modern cars?

1. Replacing everything on the dashboard with touch screen console:

If you’re observant enough and follow up the newer cars being produced, you must have notices that touchscreen is replacing the conventional buttons and knobs we use to have in cars.

Come to think of it, this seems like operating a mobile phone when you’re driving. All your attention is needed just to adjust the volume of the stereo or AC (forget about gesture control).

The touchscreen is okay when you are not in motion or when you are driving very slowly in a less busy road.

Driving distractions should be reduced, and not the other way round.

2. Fake exhaust pipes:

Automakers can go extra miles for aesthetics. Making fake exhaust pipes is one the creepy things they do to achieve that.

The original exhaust pipes are faced down under the car where you can’t see them, and then they install the fake exhaust pipes you can see.

Mercedes and Audi are very fond of doing this. Other car brands practice it as well.

3. Fake engine noise:

Everything is just becoming faked these days. There are some cars what are very quiet in the inside that the manufacturers have to introduce fake engine noise using the infotainment system.

When they realize it’s not loud enough as they want, they synthesize the various engine noises they want and then load it into the car infotainment. BMW M5 is a victim of this faking.

4. Replacing side mirrors with cameras:

It appears side mirrors add a very distinctive beauty to cars. Taking them off and replacing it with cameras will make it look weird.

5. Electronic door handles:

You can’t grab this handle physically except it pops out. Why not just keep it simple?

Jaguar and Land Rover are on this table.

Make God no allow us use money buy wetin go kill us o. Most of those guys don't consider all these things. They just want to add to the features and make more money.











Problem for the rich men!

No 3 is a big scam.

Ok

Number 5 is a no no for me

They are in the business of attracting customers.

A car without side mirror



Ugly

SmartToyota:
No 3 is a big scam.

The quieter the better

I don't think number one is a bad invention. Matter of fact we already in the future and soon one can drive looking at the screen.

Replacing side mirrors with camera is nice upgrade

Eshin Monaco

Then there's this gear control I see mostly in Range Rover that looks like stereo volume knob

No 2 is annoying. Seeing a Prado jeep with the exhaust pipe not connecting with the fake exhaust pipe piss me off.

Was switching from a stick to an auto a bad idea or an upgrade? So why will a switch to a camera be a no-no?

What have you ever invented or manufactured

Chai... All dis technology go be very, very bad market for 9ja mechanics so...

Imagine how dem Saka, Akeem, Rasheed go take repair dis ones ooo..

I like All this things you call weird....well a man's food is another man's Poison

Too much dressing they spoil cake.....



Same way many ladies are better wen dey make it simple dan wen dey wear bogus makeup



+

Fake is even threading now.....fake sound, fake project, fake boob, artificial virginity.....some even said our president is fake.,...........
Mouth seal

We are practically paying for our foolhardiness. Every year new model is produced so ppl will always want to update. Why not make vehicles in such a way that they can be updated without having to buy new ones cos of the little changes?

that one piss me off

Na you know... I pray I have one of them soon... Very Jaquar indeed ...

Why bog about cars that only 1percnt of rich guys like us can afford.
Why not bring it down to the common man cars the street can afford.or do both the rich and affordable cars.
Remember g+ is on the rise becuase of materialism.

NO 3 Fake engine noise:

Quite cars are dangerous, Ask me why
This is a fact; unaware pedestrians re bound to get hit from behind by quiet(noiseless)cars coming from behind,the sound cars generate during motion enables easy attention to surrounding pedestrians. This is one of the major challenges facing electric car manufacturers like Tesla therefore emitters re provided during bends at certain distance to create awareness that theirs a vehicle approaching. However for noiseless interior, its wise to provide fake engine sound to make drivers nd occupants to remain sober nd alert.

Only No 1 doesn't look too comfortable to me. Perhaps because I've not really seen a car with that exact features, so can't tell if it's for the best. The rest are okay

Nice points
