From reporting on Macintosh Rumors to Reviewing cars, MacRumors has come a long way.
..maybe time for a re-name / re-brand?
Gotta stay busy when there isn't much going on with Macs...

I Know Porsche made these allegations back in 2015 and google denied it but Incan’t see much evidence beyond Toyota saying they felt like Android Auto is a security risk. Which they have a point with it being open sourced but other manufacturers don’t seem to have that concern. The overwhelming majority of after market units are dual AA/CP, but those won’t have access to ignition and car data. It’s just odd to me.Wish I could find the blog post, but there was data that Google anted that Toyota did not want to share. Having gone thru a online marketing meeting, it is was scary what Google wants in order to comply in order to be listed in their searches. It was Google wants this and Google wants that.
Well, Toyota, just lost a2019 Avalon sale. I've been waiting to retire my 2011 Avalon now that Toyota finally added Car Play. But "plug-in". Talk about inconvenience. Currently just leave iPhone in my pocket and can listen to Bluetooth Audio and get and receive calls. Get messages easy to see with Apple Watch, but having Car Play would have been great. But can't think of on easier way to forget your phone than to leave your car with your phone hidden in the console plugged in.
Sorry, Toyota, after years of holding steady with you guys, I think it's time to look elsewhere.

Most people don’t have that concern. I think that they should, and that it should be implicitly spelled out what information is being gathered and sold, but most people really don’t care. Until something bad happens to someone as a direct result of information harvesting then that person won’t care. And when if it does happen then only the people affected will care.
Being do late to the game and having wireless charging one should expect they use the lates technology and offer wireless CarPlay .... total fail to have Qi without wireless CarPlay in a brand new release...
And apparently my 2018 Avalon Limited somehow cant be upgraded to include CarPlay.
Don’t really understand why someone would spend $40k on a Toyota when they make Lexus...

2019 is all-new. Completely different generation.
Those grills are hideous, but I guess you can say that they are distinctive. No one else puts that particular ugly grill on their car, so you instantly know it’s a Toyota.
