I find “states’ rights” seem to come up whenever someone wants to argue against individual civil rights and liberties.

Agreed. If the HR-V update for the U.S. had been more like this, I’d consider it. Especially compared to the Prologue, the HR-V seems...congealed.

My favorite is the Orapun.

I get more of this:

Seems like it’s time to automate this comments section.

If it works for Spider-Man...

I’m glad it’s not my job to gather that DNA.

This would be an innovation compared to the traditional sudden grenading of the transmission at 120K.

Ford Pinto and Chevy Vega. And then some. I was born during the Malaise Era.

I would not be a bit surprised.

We can save an awful lot of time and trouble by just assuming any layout announcement from any major corporation is either a lie or a wildly low estimate.

Yep, other carmakers have broken promises of new models.
