Their ass-backwards marketing notwithstanding (I agree), GM is a business and that “High profit crap” is what businesses are supposed to push.

The Corvair was killed by bad press caused by a Canadian Comedian crashing a Corvair (the almost humorous alliteration not intended) , when he was at least buzzed and driving dangerous to begin with. Then Ralph Nader who reported this and tried to make a career out of a car you actually had to try to crash was set…

You are shopping for a used car and “HEY! Used Tesla! It got options I want! I take! I give you my money!” And then a few days later, Tesla deactivates the features that made you say yes to the car in the first place. Unless you are absolutely dead set on owning a Tesla, that sort of thing is going to lead to a…

The title alone shows an unthinking bias toward BEVs ignoring that fact that Aston Martin will develop Hybrids, HEVs, or Plug-in Hybrids, PHEVs, to make better use of the platforms they have at this time, to earn and save money for the longer term effort to develop proper BEVs.

And hopefully these will be shipped to the US or adopted by say GM.

“Final Destination”

First, Bloody Jinja keeps f’ing with their code and it tanks the performance of the site and nixes some function like loading up and highlighting comments and comment replies. It should be fine in a few days, but this should not be happening. Totally dying on Firefox and stumbling badly on Chrome. Even the spele check…

Aside from a mid-hybrid system, if at all, I would rather no have a hybrid system in the car. I think such a fully-loaded car would be an Acura.

The S2000 is a car Honda got right the first time, engine notwithstanding. But Dropping in the CTR’s engine and some new body work, and the obligatory refinements to the chassis and new tech, and for about $40K I can see this being a thing again.

You may be addressing the wrong person here. I believe I was reasonably clear I was not talking about aircraft autopilot, but Tesla’s “auto-pilot”. I know someone further in was talking about aircraft autopilot how ever.

Most ADAS systems do lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, and so on, already and don’t have misleading names or an overhyped idea-man that way too many people believe way too much.

It’s “Cruise Control” all over again. When that first came out, and I know there are still those who think this, Cruise control was supposed to drive for you, not just maintain cruise speed. If Musk is going to try to ride out this  wave of stupid, it is going to be a VERY long wait.

Someone sue Tesla over Autopilot OUTSIDE of California. Someplace that does not habitually kiss Musk’s ass. Maybe then Tesla will 1) stop calling that death trap “auto-pilot”, and 2) deactivate it until that actually get it working RIGHT! I’m sure they could focus on getting the ADAS systems working properly much…

1) The man’s name is Unsworth.

Teh instigating insults by Unsworth, aof a “PR stunt” does not rise to the level of a libelous retort calling the Unsworth a Pedophile or “Pedo guy”. The retort was in fact potentially defamatory.

Wasting time and money on this instead of the GT-R36... That would have been the best 50th anniversary debut. Also a rethink of the GT-R from a “one and done”, all-out, car, to something with ever escalating levels, much like a Porsche 911 or Corvette.

This is what happens when you let a highly regarded car go on Hiatus for an unnecessarily long span of time, and then follow that up with a car that does not at least reach the same high points of the previous car.

Will FE get saddled with the same lop-sided, “that is clearly unfair”, “This isn’t racing this is some kind of racketeering”, BS that makes F1 kinda’NOT actually fun to watch.

If that qualifies as the ”most Texas truck” you have ever seen, you 1) are not from, in, or been to Texas and 2) you were not looking, not “nearly hard enough”, try AT ALL.

When was that posted? It sounds like a response to the rather quick release of the Mack-E, which is late 2020 to early 2021. But then this is a major car maker that ships on time.
