    Quality of basically every automaker has tanked post COVID, including Honda. And the prices are highway robbery too, its all a race to the bottom now.

      So car-centrism is even more ✨ terrible ✨ now? Golly, who could’ve predicted that relying on and enforcing a single industry for most of our transportation might result in rampant enshittification?

        Please. Cars are no more susceptible to enshittification than any other consumer good.

            That proves your point how exactly? You can come up with dozens of other products that try to charge a monthly fee to access features that used to be free. Or stuff it completely full of ads. Everything is going to shit.
