Proof once again of how ridiculous the auto industry has become.

Not that long ago cars were sold on build quality and safety. It seems added features and electronic devices are more important now.
I really don't want any part of it but at some point I'll be driving a daily that has these extras whether I like it or not.

Recently I was filling up my car at the service station. There was an LCD TV mounted over the browser that was constantly spewing out advertising. Extremely loud and annoying.
I decided right there and then to never buy petrol from that service station again. I wrote to the company and told them exactly that and not surprisingly they haven't got back to me yet.

Customer satisfaction and service have gone out the window. It's way cheaper and easier just to get new customers than keep existing ones happy.
