We do indeed live in very different places. I'm typically going quite quickly (20+ over) and only use the passing lane for.. Well, passing, and even if I am in the right lane someone will be right on my bumper. I'm in greater Boston. Where are you?

You and I must drive on very different roads. I see people being constantly tailgated completely regardless of what lane they are in.

Your car should do everything it can to ensure the safety of its occupants, operating under the assumption that other agents (people, cars, autonomous cars, etc), will also act to save themselves should it hit the fan. If your car drives you off of cliff to prevent another accident, it just killed you because it might …

why does the car even need a license if the driver is ultimately responsible?

The goal of toyota is to make money. So I would find it highly surprising if there is any other reason for which they moved.

I love how despite the fact that this was created by some guy who was just watching at the side of the road, it was in dash-cam form.

Yeah.. it depends. I definitely think that the premium you pay for that over a miata is mostly diminishing returns.

I have my winter tires mounted on steelies. I've been tempted by the idea of plati-dipping them red (I have an "asphalt" (gray) FR-S. Part of my loves it, part of me thinks it's a terrible idea.

The season is young!

That's true. Either way, with traveling that far he probably flew a decent chunk of that!

According to the reddit thread, the guy flew 326.7 feet from the point of impact. Hoooooly...

I *think* they made it "AWD" to make their hybrid simpler and completely redundant. And of course, they wanted it hybrid so that they would have a completely silent mode.

The compensation varying from locale to locale is something I don't know nearly enough about, or care to know. I was under the impression that you were dismissing compensation as ridiculous or unnecessary altogether.

If a product is unusable during a warranty period, the company absolutely should indeed compensate those who are unable to use the product. Whether or not they could be legally compelled to do so is something I do not know.

I don't understand your logic whatsoever. Whether or not you should be compensated in this situation has absolutely nothing to do with your financial situation. The story is simply this: I bought something from you, I can't use it, if you want to ever have me as a customer again or avoid legal action, you should…

With the 2010 forerunner (and probably many others), when I roll down all of the windows and the rear window, it gets nice and breezy in there! (And perhaps better than a convertible for someone as pale as me).

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!
