That is pretty much how it works in the UK - just look at Noble, Ariel, Caterham and so on - but I don’t think such exemptions are common enough elsewhere to justify a large company developing anything to take advantage of them.

Of course another thing they don’t have to do is cancel shows that don’t immediately garner enough attention to make a profit. While they can pick up failed shows with potential from other networks, and allow them time to grow. A rather large number of my very favourite TV shows exist precisely because the BBC doesn’t…
They’re filled with air, and intended to absorb to force of, say, someone whacking it with a car door or running into it with a shopping trolley. I quite like the way they look, too, particularly in some of the other colour combinations:
It’s a European-market mainstream family car—of course it comes with a manual.
You do realise that a shit load of people absolutely love The Witcher 2, right?
Renault did something similar with the pre-facelift RS Megane and some Renault-powered F1 liveries, a few years ago. Man, that Castrol GT86 is just perfect... It puts me in mind of the liveried Celica GT4 I see driving around my town sometimes.
Now, my ‘Best’ would have to be something from Halo, probably either the OP CE Pistol or the old AR, but if we’re talking M1s and similar, then I’ll throw my vote in for the Kar98k:
Why, if you don’t mind my asking? I mean, the Yaris isn’t the most common driving instructor’s car where I live - that’d probably be the Citroen DS3 - but it’s very much the sort of thing people tend to learn in around here.
You’d still be left with the buggered suspension, and a rather bare-looking front and back.
If an equivalent, ‘What Car Was Most Improved By A Facelift?’ question were to be proposed, I’d actually put the real Mark II Focus on it. The new front-end did wonders for the overall look, particularly on the ST.
Wreck It Ralph was fantastic. I’m not sure if it beats Tangled for the coveted award of, ‘The Best Modern Disney Animation That Isn’t Made By Pixar According To KirkyV’, but then, Tangled sets a pretty high bar.
Good ol’ Nexus 5. I really hope your successor - not the 6, the 2015 5 II from LG - lives up to its esteemed ancestor. I might finally be able to replace you.
I can honestly say I’ve never queued up at the DMV. This is partly because there’s technically no entity known as the DMV in the UK, but mainly down to the fact that we seem to do everything by post.
Have GM made any announcements regarding Vauxhall/Opel’s adoption of the system?
I haven’t either, but then, the only Samsung device I’ve actually owned is the Galaxy Nexus, so I can’t really comment on their update commitment.
That’s not quite true. You can have that guaranteed update experience with Android if you want—you just have to buy a Nexus, or a phone from a company that’s demonstrated a commitment to speedy updates in the past.
That’s kind of the idea behind Auto and CarPlay. All the actual processing is done on your phone—the only thing the car does is provide a larger screen. It isn’t just projecting your phone’s homescreen, though; the idea is to provide more car-friendly controls, that won’t distract from the road.
This doesn’t really change much, but the version of Android that Auto requires - 5.0 Lollipop - isn’t actually the most recent at this point. 5.1 came out about a month ago, and my Nexus 5 just updated to 5.1.1. We should be getting some details on the next full version release - with a new dessert/sweet name -…
The Peugeot 306 had a passive rear-wheel-steer system. It’s part of why it had such an excellent reputation for handling, even if it could occasionally lead to a little old-school Peugeot backwards-through-hedge-ness.
