A police department spokesperson says the decision was “done in an effort to protect those officers,”

This is what I’d call a fair evaluation with the info we have now. It's just baffling that we get more informative insight out of a reply in the comments section than out of the article itself.

Did you completely miss the part where Ford is doing it the Cadillac way and not the Tesla way, and how there is a vast difference in the safety of the Cadillac vs Tesla system??? Shit take.

Will it be compatible with Cars and Coffee mode ?

Mine too. Thats why I bought one. ;)

Too few people remember that there was a time when “Quattro” meant “Banned from motorsport because you fuckers keep winning everything”

I had to scroll wayyyyy too far down to find this...

Lots of performance motors, but let’s be honest here. The most legendary engine of all time is probably the Toyota 5S-FE. The boring little ~130HP 2.2L 4-Cylinder fitted to tens of millions of Toyota Camrys.

Agreed.

F20C is my personal GOAT. 240 bhp, 9000 RPM, etc.

155,000 miles on my F20C, just an absolutely perfect thing.

Don't group them together. They stand as individuals. 

BMW’s straight six engines. But the best is surely the S54b32. It was a 3.2 liter straight six that produced 333hp. That’s more than 100 hp/L. Found in the E46 M3, as well as the later year Z3 and Z4 M Roadsters and M Coupes.

Mazda 13B

Audi Inline-5 turbo. Good enough to conquer WRC, Pikes Peak, IMSA, and Trans-Am in just one decade.

The list of remarkable engines <8 cylinders is long, but there is no doubt the 2JZ is near the top of that list.

2JZ gang gonna come out of the woodwork any minute now.

Honda’s B16B, B18C, F20C, K20A

You can... fight the ticket? I know I’d much rather receive a fine in the mail and schedule a court appearance on my own terms than be worried about getting pulled out of my car by a cop who didn’t like my haircut or the spelling of my name and then having to spend the weekend in jail for “resisting arrest” while…

Could be worse, if it was Honda, you would need to submit your credit card information to someone in Russia to unlock the doors.

GM and Nissan have hardly committed in their own countries to EVs, much less elsewhere. The Leaf and Bolt/Volt have always been a part-time hobby for those two.

Microsoft? Have they tried turning it off and turning it back on again?
