Auto design trends change all the time. Some trends are awesome: heated seats, rearview cameras, and Bluetooth. But on the other hand, some trends are real, real bad … like the use of bigger and bigger iPad like screens getting stuck to the dashboard, cough cough Tesla. Join Nolan as he covers some of the worst trends, and which manufacturers are the worst offenders. No one is safe on this one, we take a look at Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, Honda, Porsche, BMW, Tesla, and just about everyone in the auto industry!
WheelHouse answers all the questions about the automotive world you never thought to ask. Nolan Sykes looks at the history, sociology and psychology behind the cars you love, and the features you might overlook.

What new car feature annoys you?
I believe some of the ford focuses have a crossover coupe style.
Today's cars do amazing things and very well, but given the level of complexity I can't imagine them becoming very old.
It used to be as a car got older, it either wore out, got stolen or got totaled. In the future there will be a 4th possibility. You'll be motoring along 20 years from now in a pretty mint 2024 car and some IC within a module will pop, the car will die and the mechanic will tell you the replacement module will be $9600 if they can even find one. A mechanically and cosmetically sound car will self-total because of the failure of a part that originally cost 5 bucks but is now 15 years obsolete.
The vintage cars restored by collectors 30 years from now will be some subset of the same ones we have today. Cars after a certain build year will be unfixable and therefore disposable.
96 year old Jay Leno's Garage will have some Teslas, but just as static displays!
Don't like it? Don't look!!
gma news "suv" = minivan, auv, crossover, helicopter, submarine, intl space station
donut media "honda" = toyota, suzuki, yamaha, caterpillar, cesna, boeing..
BMW is the poor Man's Mercedes.
Only German car I would buy is either Porsche or AUDI.
Thats a toyota not a honda CHR
Watching this in 2024 is crazy
The next business that makes a useless subscription or turns a basic service into a subscription has to fire all their execs and make them fight each other for charity.
Honestly paddle shifters in minivans is helpful for driving in the mountains
5:17 my friends jeep beeps on tight streets
In the Mercedes EQS you can buy SMELL CARTRIDGES for $100 to put in your car. Because Mercedes isn’t complicated already.
Just wait until the manufacturer's force your car to turn off because it thinks you are drunk. Then you have to wait for the government to come and give you permission to drive again.
This is why I love my Honda S2000. Only has and airbag and ABS. Amazing performance and excellent driving experience.
My old boss's son was dogging on my 2007 Subaru for the ricer vents I put on it. Low and behold, just about every vent on his old man's 2023 C6 Vette were fake. Dumb mods are bad, but they're worse if the factory does 'em too.
I would much rather have too many cupholders than none like on the tesla model x
That's actually honda HRV and toyota CHR
is that last car not a toyota crv?
X
how did FAKE EXHAUSTS not make the list?!
“Honda chr “
Honda CHR? WTF??? LOL
Auto makers need to stop making everything sportive even Aixam and Ligier make 500CC quadricycle sportsy by adding large vents and angry headlights, theses "cars" can't even go pass 50km!
heck EVEN SEMI-TRUCKS ARE GETTING THE SPORTIVE TREATHMENTS!
Fake engine noise is helpful in an EV since there's no natural aural cue to the driver if they're accelerating well past the speed limit. When the car sounds the same at 45 as it does at 75, the only way you might know how fast you're going is just a number on the screen.
My mom has a Subaru Outback and my god I hate it. The seatbelt chime won’t stop half the time and that stupid contract I gotta sign every time i start it I think I know I gotta follow basic traffic laws
9:05 what kind of Honda is that?
driving rules reminder is like your knife saying don't murder people when you go to the kitchen to cut some veggies
The last one is a Toyota chr… Honda had the Hrv and crv
The Honda CHR isn't the only one. The BMW X6 has got to be one of the ugliest vehicles out there. It looks like an inflated car. So similar to the CHR, but more ugly to me.
What about turn signals that are also brake lights and not their own dedicated lamps? Especially the ones that are red or white, and not amber?
#12
The cybertruck. Just… all of it.
Touch screens are annoying.
Doesn't BMW also charge a subscription for heated seats?
What the fuck it's a toyota chr not honda or am I mistaken
"honda" chr ITS TOYOTA CHR
isnt chr toyota?
Pretty sure that's a Toyota not a Honda 🤣
Hi there, tech here, talked to a GM engineer a while back and he actually explained the whole "reverse lights on for 2 minutes" gag, he said it was because GM asked them to come up with a way that an owner could check all of their lights without help from anyone else. However, due to time restraints and budget worries, they didn't make it a feature on the fob, as the original plan was to put it on the fob as a Exterior Light Check button, or to have a button on the inside to achieve the same effect. Instead, they just set it up in the computer to initiate "Exterior Light Check" mode every time the car is either shut off or locked (depending on the year or model you own), and thus the fake reverse lights were born. GM just uses them still today because, while annoying, they aren't a major safety concern, and the computer systems inside the cars have remained relatively unchanged over the years.
9:03. You said honda, but show a toyota. Might wanna check that. You guys are awesome
way too many screens piling up
Kinda lost it when Nolan called the Toyota C-HR a Honda and then just kept going 😂
Remember when you had to look behind you or in you're rear view mirror in order to be able to get a license? Remember when you actually drove you're own car instead of the GPU doing it for you? Oooh! Remember when you actually needed to know how to drive in order to drive a car? What a crazy idea. Being able to have basic brain function in order to operate a machine that weighs over 3000 pounds. I just don't see how that was a good idea. I mean lol… Wow. Needing to be mentally competent to legally make a 3000 + lb can go spreads that will never be safe to get in an accent in that can also kill you. Insane
Ain’t no way he called it a Honda chr, it’s a toyota
9.06 that car was not a honda chr that was a toyota chr
Why was the "Honda CHR" a Toyota?
There is no such thing as "too many cupholders".
PT Barnum said "theres a sucker born every minute."…. better is theyre rich.
just wanna say how we’ve gone from no cup holders to now too many, wow.
