I bought an XC60 last year. They had me demo the city safe autobreak by driving and then coasting towards a cinder block wall at 25mph and not touching the break. Coolest test drive ever.

Serious question: what sort of “upgrades” has the rotary engine seen? I follow engine tech (the exotic stuff) as a hobby and there’s actually been quite a few advances in rotary engine tech over the last ten years although none of it has seen the light of manufacturing day. Yet.

Darwin Award...

The question is, though, what sort of a targeting cone does it need? 1km cubed seems like an awfully large area to search.

Yeah I just figured the owners were getting shafted no matter what. I was wondering what sort of financial damage is out there for VW. You have to wonder what the North American market is worth to them.
