New Volkswagen ID Tiguan Atones For The ID 4's Button-Erasing Sins - Jalopnik
Volkswagen
Financially-troubled German automaker Volkswagen could really use a sales hit right about now, and by the looks of it, the new ID Tiguan might end up being just that. It's a thoroughly extensive rework of the button-starved ID 4, which hasn't been a flop but is easy to forget. While Volkswagen is only showing off the European-market ID Tiguan right now, it should be pretty much the same as the ID Tiguan we'll get in the U.S. in 2027. I already quite liked the way the ID 4 drove when I reviewed one two years ago, and by the looks of it this redesign is going to be a huge improvement in all other regards.

Leisure Suit Larry is about to take his final bow
2018's Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry was a genuinely pleasant surprise, in that it's actually good—quite a contrast to the preceding games in the series, Magna Cum Laude and Box Office Bust, which were decidedly not good. A sequel followed, Wet Dreams Dry Twice, and once again it was pretty good stuff—not hugely innovative or high art, but a genuine Leisure Suit Larry experience that manages to avoid embarrassing itself (though it embarrasses Larry himself plenty).
