They knew about this problem. They knew that it had killed people. They did nothing. Do you agree with those assertions?

I don't think getting angry about a company not fixing a problem that they knew would kill people (and did kill people) is over dramatic.

It wasn't like I was actually planning on buying one of these (even it if were more available), but I was really excited about it *until* Jeremy Clarkson's review on Top Gear. I feel like now you'd be better off with a Boxster, or plenty of other competitors.

I good sir happen to own both a FR-S and a weed-whacker, and can tell you as a matter of fact that the FR-S has at least... three times more power!

No, he certainly is still a public figure. I still however think his family has a right to privacy, as does everyone except perhaps people currently holding public office.

You're supposed to say "Not as much as you'd think."

Wow, so, how much did Dodge kick in for today's morning shift?

This sort of thing could make my coupe tenable for a lot longer!

You may not have done the most runs, but at least you did the longest one!

Escape route would have been "drive faster into the oncoming truck."

I'm *guessing* the cheap interior.

To me it just looks kinda boring.

I was highly tempted to do the same thing when someone threw a cigarette out the window at my feet, but thought better of it. Probably would've done it if I was as much as one day less mature. I have done that before to a guy who was walking in front of me and just blatantly dropped a wrapper, he was dumbfounded.

Why is this notable? Do the extra two speeds actually improve acceleration or fuel economy? Or is it just all around a better transmission, one that happens to have two speeds? Or something else?

Oh, I'm not saying that there's no precedent or legal basis, I'm just saying it's ludicrous! :)

This. I understand why we have bankruptcy court, and why they're not responsible for prior debts, but not responsible for previous products and criminal actions? That's ludicrous.

It's better to have ballast than to have driver weight, so there would still be an incentive for drivers to be very thin. Unless you specified the position of the ballast, but the cars would have to be designed around that.

oh please, terrible driving isn't limited to the affluent.

you see oversights like this literally constantly with headlines and reports. I theorize that they're overlooked because otherwise they wouldn't have a story.

I don't think the Tesla is about being green. It's about being just a genuinely appealing car, that is also a novelty. The "appeal" of the prius or other advanced hybrids is that they are green. With the Model S, they just made a car that people would really want, even if being "green" wasn't their top priority.
