Here’s what pops into my mind for each of these cars:

I will never understand these minuscule investments made by governments. $3 million is a paltry sum when you consider how much it would actually cost to fully develop any new technology.

I thought Tavarish was getting unjustly ganged up on in the comments section of his articles, until I started reading accounts from actual owners on the MBWorld forums.

Would you?

Awesome, but there’s a big ol tax bill headed her way soon.

He seems to do just fine when it comes to the actual review portions but I’m not so into the gimmicky stuff (especially that rap).

Love the wood in newer Volvos; that lighter shade of teak that looks raw enough to give you a splinter but is actually as smooth as a baby’s bottom.

Ken Feinberg is a busy man these days.

Damn, that R8 debadge/rebadge is pretty unforgivable.

This is the ultimate “bought this for my wife but drive it more than her” car. I’ve always been a big fan.

LeBlanc was great as a TG guest but his slow, dull, pulled-a-30-drink-all-nighter style of delivery might get a bit old. Not to mention soporific.

$30 million is a comically low sum for any field of research, especially one as unexplored as autonomous cars. Not to be a buzzkill but this shouldn’t be considered a serious effort as it will likely yield zero useful new technology.

That Jag’s Craigslist description is pretty amazing:

Hasn’t this story/rumor been a thing for a while? Say, 2013?

a) This is kind of his “thing.” He antagonizes people and gets attention. It’s the fail-safe Ann Coulter formula, and he’s not the only one.

They should not have set the bar so high with previous videos. This is kind of weak as a result.

That flatbed is blocking street vision.

Yes they’re welcome to the benefits because they also pay U.S. tax and hire American workers. There has to be some incentive for companies to invest here; they have to get something in return for filling IRS coffers and handing out paychecks to Americans. We can’t just bury them financially and expect them to thank us…
