The interior of this car was done right, even if it also is derivative of other cars. It looks good, is functional, stylish and doesn’t have the stupid “iPAD” nav-screen styling that has cropped up on everyone’s interior lately. Too bad the exterior of the car looks like a Chinese-manufacturer’s take on a M3 with an…

Neutral: It is doubtful that it would come down to a “kill occupants vs surrounding people”, but for argument’s sake if it did come to that unlikely scenario, I would suggest the parameters would likely fall into a formula accounting for a) number of probable deaths/injuries (lesser being optimal) b) ages of possible…

Regarding blindspots, properly adjusted mirrors go a long way for that. Not 100%, but I doubt Eyesight is either. As for adaptive cruise, I suppose if you are one who always uses it it might be alright. I rarely turn mine on, and only on long boring stretches of highway that are fairly clear of traffic anyway. If it…

I am beginning to wonder if Chevrolet spent all it’s imagination on restyling the Corvette, which is why everything else they have introduced all new lately seems boring and derivative. First the Malibu (although better than it was) was a yawner, the new Camaro looks like the 5th gen with questionable plastic surgery,…

The whole “holds it’s value” end has never been consideration for me, but only because I drive my cars until they are worth only $1000 or are written off. But in all honesty, unless you are the type who buys a new (or lightly used) car every 3 or so years, residual value isn’t worth worrying about. Eventually they are…

A Subaru Legacy isn’t a bad option (my 2nd choice really), but with respect to the Eyesight option, why? As was pointed out by another editor on here who head-hunts cars (I forget his name... sorry) and was searching for an Outback for a customer, who also wanted Eyesight, do you find yourself constantly running into…

Why wouldn’t they have removed the toll booths when the road became electronic toll? Certainly the technology is there to read a plate at over 65mph - we have them here for the 407 highway that crosses above Toronto https://www.google.ca/maps/@43.78214… and the tech is about 15+ years old. Pretty much everyone is up…

Maybe it is just the angle of the photo, but the S60 looks massive compared to the 740 behind it. I always felt the S60 was quite a bit smaller compared to the ‘box-it-came-in’ days of Volvo styling.

I sat in an HRV a couple weeks ago and was very impressed with it. Although it isn’t a nice looking CUV (the Renegade looks better IMO), the HRV is a TARDIS inside. I don’t know how they do it, but 4 full-size adults (2 of us in the 300lb/6’ range) easily fit (haha) inside comfortably, and there was decent space…

I hadn’t realized GM had STOPPED selling these. Pretty sure the local commercial GM dealer has had a bunch of these (badged as GMC for whatever reason....) forever.

From a business point of view, I can understand offering incentives for manufacturing to stay in Canada (really mostly Ontario...). But what frustrates me is that there aren’t some sort of provisions when said companies take the incentives/money on the table, then 2 years later shug and close up shop anyway. This…

Most likely. They just haven’t actually come out and admitted it yet. Too bad, as Oshawa’s plants had the one of the best ratings for manufacturing out of all of the GM plants, with the fewest assembly-line rated defects.

I’ve been reading more and more articles that offer a similar comment about how the manual version of a given new car isn’t as satisfying as it’s dual-clutch counterpart. Sometimes the reasons are based on performance times but more often lately it has been centered on the actual feel of shifting action. To the first…

And the yellow car was update 3 of that generation. the 96-99 was nice, but I did like the 2000-2003 version (owned a 01 - was a fun little car).

It would be great if Canada bought these up, instead of burning money on the F35 deal it is part of right now. First off, it is the Canadian way of arming ourselves lately - take unwanted military surplus off our allies (see sub fleet). Sadly, the putz (excuse me, Prime Minister) seems bent on wasting our money, and…

Oh I agree. When I was a teenager I really wanted a Z24. I eventually owned a 2001 Z24. Was a great car that I owned for 13 years and 333,000kms trouble-free until I wrote it off in an accident.

No, you make a good point about outright banning, and feasibility for EVERY vehicle to be autonomous will take likely a generation or so. As for those with a financially vested interest in keeping cars human driven, I don’t know if they have the clout vs all the safety lobbyists out there, but it will be an…

You forget the “safety” argument. Once you start throwing around how what you are legislating is to make driving/roads “safer” for everyone (drivers/pedestrians/cyclists) you will get all kinds of safety lobby groups on board and it becomes a very difficult thing to argue against “safety” pundants, even if you have…

.... Except you do not have a “right” to drive (unless some U.S. States have actually enacted such legislation). And as BigBlocok440 notes, there are a lot of people on here (and in society) that would much rather let the car drive them while they read/eat/sleep/text/play candy-crush. I don’t think the ban will be…
