Followed a newer Chevy a couple days ago. Noticed that it's tail lights resembled something else. Not gonna say what. Y'all can use your imagination.
Not sure how this got into production ( tail lights)

This propensity of car manufacturers to add stuff just because they can (glove box that has to be opened from a screen, for example) keeps me from even THINKING about replacing my cars. I don't want all that stuff on my cars. It adds costs, increases complexity where none is needed and drives up both the cost of the car itself as well as future repairs. In my opinion, a car company that produced a simple vehicle with less complexity, better dependability and lower repair costs would no doubt sell a heck of a lot of them!
I'm so with you Boomer.
There are people who will misapply the name "Luddite" to people who just don't want to buy garbage.
I suppose it shows us how programmed a consumer can be.
There are many who eagerly lap up any diarrhea car companies produce.
Frankly, when has any of us communicated our dissatisfaction to a car company?
And the car companies will say, "Hey Jack, you don't know what sells a car".

I'd have at least pointed them the other way, don't ya' think?
I actually kind of like those-- the taillights are different which is hard to do after 100 years and the headlights remind me of Bender Bending Rodriguez from Futurama.This beats the Hyundai "Dog Bone" head & tail lights I've been seeing.

Ohhhh, that's probably why ladies smile as they go by.
It's why I don't buy new cars much anymore. If I do buy something new, it's usually a bottom feeder of some kind with as few bells and whistles as possible.

I thought they're an H for you know..
“I’ll build my own tail lights, with blackjack and hookers!”I actually kind of like those-- the taillights are different which is hard to do after 100 years and the headlights remind me of Bender Bending Rodriguez from Futurama.
One would think that, but in practice it doesn’t work. I had to basically sell the dealership employees when I bought my truck all because it didn’t have the big stupid 8.4” connect radio and 7” LCD dash in it like my 300 did. “Are you sure? And a Classic? You don’t like the new body style???” was asked repeatedly.
