Are we absolutely sure that Pagenaud was the ONLY driver that cut the blend line during the race? Probably not.

I used to work for an engineering firm, and we had several types of airflow measuring equipment. These two guys with too much time on their hands measured 90 feet per minute at 1" off the butt.

I would guess Dodge/Chrysler won’t offer these cars for lease.

Don’t get me started with Uber. I work downtown LA, and all the street parking (with park-meters) is taken by Uber drives waiting to get hailed. Meanwhile the city is getting no money after installing card-enabled meters, and regular citizens just cannot find parking.

Man.. did you read the article and my comment?

I guess it all depends on the price. If the GT-R and the Alpine cost the same, I see no reason for the Alpine to exist since I can’t see many Americans buying a Renault for that much money.

I would guess that in your country, PSA sells passenger cars along with taxis. The article says that they will sell taxis first, and if it works, then they will move to Phase III. By that strategy, The image that PSA would have in the US would be “taxi” first and then passenger car.

So let me get this straight.

Not same manufacturer. But yes, Renault/Nissan please bring the Alpine!

It may be interesting the first few races as a novelty, then it may be become a niche sport loved by very few people.

Even at that, who are these people behind the pit wall?, do we care about them? Do we care that guy A programmed this line of code or that guy B programmed this other algorithm?

How much did the Tabacco companies paid? I know it was a lot, but I think it was in millions, not billions.

But when they realized about the deadly results, they went “meh, cost of doing business “

When I said that it needs to be proven, I mean that the real numbers and effects may be estimated, but we do not have a solid death count yet.

By that logic, VW did not design an engine to fail emissions. It just did, then after a lot of head scratching, they decided to hide the problem with the chit code. That sounds a lot like hiding the fact that the switch failed and they decided to hide the fact.

Please help me understand. GM produces a defective part, they know it, don’t do anything to fix it, hide it, 124 people die. ~$2 billion total.

Yes, some will switch of course. But just some where and when is convenient. Just like some people have done for the last 100 years.

Did you ready my first comment, you know the first one that shows on the thread? I question the notion that we are all going car-less. I call it BS.

No, I am comparing apples to apples.

Not better than my Audi.
