Honda is known for quality, and every old Nissan I see falls apart. I hope this doesn’t tank the quality of Honda.

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.

Okay, enjoy your subscription seatwarmers, I guess.

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.
