I want my car to speak Française.

Remember, in the end, Winston really did love Big Brother.

No French for me, my car just dings and leave the investigating up to me.

Even my wife's 4Runner, a 2020, has some really poor operator interfaces for seemingly basic stuff.

And, btw, if I want to hear my car talk, I'll put my wife in the trunk.

Back when the 280Z was released, one of my friends bought one new. It was one of the first cars to talk. If the door was open, and female voice would say "door ajar" and it was a slightly sexy voice. His wife insisted he take it to the dealer and have the voice changed to a man's voice. Yea, she was that jealous. She had a very high paying job, so he put up with a lot.

Nothing to work on. Plug it in, the computer tells you what update to install or what part to replace. All the tech needs to know how to do is remove and reinstall the parts without damaging anything.

Until computer says to replace module A and it doesn't fix the issue...
