That 528 looks really good!

What’s the safety? Is it like a deadman switch?

A lot of people are asking this question, but I really want to know from someone that’s into stanced cars (I know you’re reading this and this is a safe space) -

Powerlines and big equipment are always a bad combination.

I’ve been waiting for the 20% off incentives to buy one with a manual. But there’s a damn good chance I’m going to get tired of waiting and end up buying something else I want less.

I’ve heard people subjectively describe the 997 Turbo as being soft and forgettable compared to the base 997 C2, which is objectively softer and more forgettable.

Gotta be a Wrangler with no doors!

He’s definitely going to be sore

This video is totally comfortable with what it is. Inane perfection in purpose.

Even in Z06 form I was also not a fan. So awkward looking.

Click bait and I clicked, but at least Jalopnik got my page view not those other trolls. 👍

It may have been an unfortunate(?) random occurrence.

The car we are looking to replace is actually an R61 All4 Paceman S, which has just about the same rear seat room as the R60 (its bafflingly an inch longer overall than the Countryman). My wife at 5'3" can drive in a normal position with the kids seat behind her, but that’s it - theres no additional clearance.

That’s a good point... at least for ICE engines. Hybrid or electric cars in the downhill and deceleration scenarios would still be having their energy recapturing ability reduced by the added resistance of the road.

We tested out about a dozen different seats and got the smallest one to fit behind the passenger seat in my 997 911 when we had our first.

That energy is coming from somewhere though... how’s this system not increasing resistance to vehicle movement in some way?

Wondering the same thing... this sounds like one of those “brilliant” ideas like attaching a wind turbine to your car to generate power while your driving.

I do like both of those VW and was hopeful when they were announced, but sadly there’s not enough clearance between the rear and front seat back. I was hoping that they would have at least matched the Jetta’s interior dimensions (which is borderline workable with the kiddie seats), but it’s 2 inches shy of that…

I wish! Unless the backseat on the Crosstrek got waaaay more leg room with the latest revision it’s not even close to fitting a rear facing child seat behind a 6'+ driver.
