Kodi generally has better file and codec support which is important as I have a Synology NAS that doesn’t support transcoding - I’ve yet to find anything Kodi won’t play back, whereas with the various Plex installs I’ve had over the years (Apple TV, Roku, Samsung TV) have had problems with MKVs etc. I know that’s a…

Well it certainly has an, interesting...take on user experience. I signed up, chose a few tribes and now I have a wall of noise. I’m not really sure what I’m supposed to do with it.

Gay-Em-Bay-Haah

Except they didn’t. Ever

I had a GTV and loved it, FWD or no, but I never really liked the Spider; the conversion to a softtop was always a bit awkward to my eyes (I don’t like the way the rear slopes), and removing the roof made the whole car a bit floppy on the road.

And yet the car that followed it was even heavier...

Isn’t the whole “sucking at F1" thing down to the giant steaming turd Honda keeps leaving just in front of the rear wheels? A steaming turd McLaren are contractually committed to carry around in 2017?

LOL. Your telecoms are terrible, as are your roads and rail (which are falling apart). Airlines...well done, one out of four.

Of course EU rules impact; they’re the exact analog of the federal rules you were decrying in your original comment. And salaries aren’t you think either; the average salary disparity between Germany and Spain is much less than say, Mississippi and Maryland.

Trade Union density in Germany and the Czech republic is almost exactly the same ; and that wasn’t your argument anyway, regulation was, which is pretty much exactly the same in both countries, and in Spain and elsewhere in the EU.

Spain? Same level of regulation as Germany - EU, Czech Republic? Same level of regulation as Germany - EU. Finland? etc. etc. You’re talking nonsense. Mercedes, VW and BMW still make plenty of small cars both in Germany and the rest of the (highly regulated) EU. And you do know the US already has trade tariffs right?…

Its funny how the Germans and Japanese manage to be productive with even more regulation and free at point of use health systems. Could it be they’ve figured out that selling high value-add products makes more sense than asinine “thanks Obama” nonsense that has nothing to do with how developed economies work.

It failed because Jaguar made a car for the audience it already had, not the audience it needed to reach. Just like the S-Type, Ford execs simply couldn’t get past that olde-worlde British thatched cottage bowler hat nonsense. Problem is it’s a design cul-de-sac (as BMW are finding with MINI), and pretty much made…

More swearing from F1 drivers please. I want to see them calling everyone in front of them a useless c*nt, just like the rest of us do.

How come it takes 30 years to fish these cars out? Back when I was in college (Manchester, England) I was in the rowing club and we’d regularly row over stolen cars that had been dumped in the river, but they were always fished out within a couple of days. Now admittedly, the Irwell is probably only a quarter as wide…

I’m confused by this car; don’t they have the Touareg in this class? So this is a Touareg rival that’s what? Cheaper? Bigger? More American? (I gather its not coming to Europe), or is this just VW’s American Skoda Kodiak?

Might be a no brainier for the bread and butter models, but I doubt they’d do a QV; BMW have never done it with the M3.

Or narrower glasshouse. Look at BMW 4GC for example.

What would the roofline have to do with EU regs? And as for the nose; I disagree; they could lower it, and the most relevant example out there right now would be the Jag XE; but I actually think that’s the Jag’s worst feature; the low bonnet line makes it look a bit...I dunno, underdone? Maybe I’ve been conditioned by…

“Octoroon”? What are they putting in the mint juleps down on the plantation these days?
