I covered my speedometer with a much more useful OFT screen.

The current car now looks dated. It's gonna be a long year of teeth gnashing for some...
I'll bet they arrive sooner than the fall

I wonder if they already have the mid-life refresh 5HP power bump built into the plan? 233HP for the 2024 facelift, baby! Aw yeah.

I can live with the rear, but the teardrops on the side and license plate mount is big turn off for me.

It's too bad they don't allow you to change the climate control rounds to display oil and coolant temp, or other measurable parameters

Good to see real pics with natural light to get a sense of what it will be like in real driving. And I have to say, I like it. I don't know why people are ragging on the interior, I think it looks decent and nicer than the gen 1 interior, which had a centre stack that looked exceptionally cheap with its fisher price plastics and 1980s Toyota digital clock etc. This one is cleaner, more up to date, and still driver focused - it's perfectly fine if the price remains around the same point.

For me, the biggest visual adjustment is still the exterior, especially the new front half. It still looks a bit tall and rounded to me in comparison to the previous gen. But if I can get over that, it's not bad - still a hachi roku under the new panels.

Happy the torque dip went missing. I hope with this new generation I can stop brushing anti-rust slime under the car. I mean, please, give me more aluminum from factory under the car!

Regarding the re-engineered interior, if I understand correctly, I'll have to dislocate my shoulder every time I want to have a drink and my most used armrest will be a bottle cap. I wonder what the anatomy of the designer is.
