From an environment (CO2 reduction) and sales/revenue perspective the previous CEO Toyoda was 100% correct. They never should have replaced him. Toyota did play smart focusing on hybrids.
Other automakers are writing down billions in bad EV investment and slowing or cancelling other EV investment. Small displacement turbocharged ICE with hybrid is the best path until a better technology than lithium based EV comes to market.

The only good looking cars in BMW line up at the moment are 3 series, Z4, M2 and M8. X models are okay but even looking at iX or XM makes me Again......a personal opinion.

The electronic dashboards look like cheap plastic stuck on afterthoughts….and that’s what you look at most of the time.

That’s because they are cheap plastic stuck on afterthoughts. I will say they are clear and bright with no glare, so there’s that. It’s nice to have options when it comes to the gauge cluster. But the biggest issue with the tacked on screen is the lowered placement of the A/C vents and the modern approach to little slats for air… and of course the lack of presets buttons is not ergonomic or safe.
