A closer look
Automakers are completely divided on exactly how your foot should push a small piece of plastic. Some brands prefer the pedal to hinge aggressively from the top, dangling entirely suspended in the air like a pendulum. Others hinge it directly from the heavy carpeted floor, requiring a completely different sweeping ankle motion. Despite performing the exact same critical function, this fundamental difference in geometry continues to heavily polarize drivers, quietly dictating the ergonomics of every aggressive highway merge.
