Enform is a superior system to CarPlay...

As well as every other luxury automaker’s media interfaces.

And yet it STILL pails in comparison to QNX which evidently Audi has beefed up in the new Golf R, TTRS, S8/A8, R8 V8/V10 look at those driver consoles and drivetrainvontrol systems and you can’t say diddley. This isn’t an infotainment system I’m talking about btw.
 
I stopped looking at ugly cars in disbelief a few years ago. What I do instead is focus on the owners...look at them closely and try to figure out what went wrong? Nature vs nurture?

I went looking at cars yesterday. Almost all makes (worth considering): Ford, Mercedes, Volvo, Audi, VW, BMW etc., and they're ALL fugly. A lot of them look nice on the outside, but then when you sit in them it's like looking at a 1990's home stereo system - flashing lights, angular shapes, odd colours. Why?!

Look at the Mercedes C-Class. Nice interior with what looks like the cheapest possible Android tablet stuck to the dash.

I'm depressed now.

We've been toying with the idea of replacing our vehicle as well.

There's pretty much nothing appealing (within a remotely reasonable price range). They all look the same, inside and out... they all have these awful looking tablet-style "infotainment systems". They all have 4-cylinder engines (two liter turbo craze).

The only car that got me vaguely interested was the Mini Countryman, but even that had an amount of silliness to it (like a colour-changing LED around the speedo).

BMW 2 series was ok, but it's a coupe. The 3 series didn't appeal to me.

I liked the Mustang, but it's a couple again. And when I asked if I could test drive it, the salesman looked at me and said no, they didn't have a demo one. I'd have to go to their sister dealership 45mins away (and that was after driving 45mins to get to them, so 90mins from my home). Not a chance!

The car I have now is just too big, I've decided. I want something a bit more practical and a bit more sensibly priced, but I'm at a loss.

The closest we've come is the CX-5. Certainly the best looking of the small SUV class, very nice interior, and most of the features we'd like. But at the same time, it still just feels rather meh, especially with the i4 engine. I wish inline-5 engines were more common as they sound so much better.
