A couple of other offenders:

Saw a Merc today with a similar treatment. I do not enjoy them. But the VW ones are the worst.

In a perfect world there will only be project and collector cars. 😤

A very cool look inside a warehouse of Ford SVT concept cars secretly saved from the crusher

it tickles my 'tism

Makes me wonder what this means for Audi's F1 team? I read that it wasn't a slam dunk due to VW finances I think a year or so ago.

I can't even imagine paying 40% sales tax on a large SUV

Hi!

Out of curiosity, I was looking at old car interiors. I noticed that some 2010s Yarises have their entire dashboard in the centre atop the console. But I also noticed that 2010s Priuses have a similar thing, except it's a display? In some photos, it looks like the driver can view just the speed from the dash as the display extends to the right half of the dashboard, but in other photos, it looks like it's only in the centre? Can the driver of these Priuses view the speed without craning their neck right to the centre console?

First time I bought an engine sight unseen, but the offer was too good to pass up on. But I'm sure this project will be behind schedule and over budget once again.

Edit: SOLVED, see comments

I have a K4 Hatchback GT-Line Limited (Canada). For cost cutting reasons, Kia outfitted the driver's side with power controls and lumbar, while the passenger side is fully manual with zero lumbar support.

My partner is 4'11" and sinks into the passenger seat so much her legs are kicked up, but she fits fine in my driver's seat thanks to the lumbar support. It's quite uncomfortable for her.

Is there any reasonable way to retrofit the lumbar support on the passenger side short of importing an AUDM or UKDM seat? Finding a mesh lumbar support that's only 1 ft wide is pretty difficult, a foam support would prevent the cooled and heated seats from functioning as intended. An aftermarket lumbar bladder is also an option. I can't find any clear parts diagrams or pictures for this car's seats unfortunately, so until I open up one of the seat backs, I have no idea what I'm dealing with, where the heating elements are, etc.

The Gasolini AR1 uses 2-cylinder Honda bike engine, and an EV is underway, too.
