I guess you’d have to say the same for these women then: http://www.wnd.com/2014/08/39783/

It would help if they put a some more effort into differentiating them from the base Golf aside from throwing on some new wheels.

I would define “exciting” styling in this segment more along the lines of the Focus ST/RS. The Type R is just plain bonkers.

That thing looks like Honda’s version of a Corolla S. A bland-looking car made slightly less bland-looking by adding some ground effects.

Being admissible in court doesn’t necessarily mean that single piece of evidence alone would be enough for a conviction in court. I would like to think that a visual estimate of speed alone would not be enough to get a conviction for an actual criminal offense like reckless driving, but I’m not a legal expert.

Ah, clearly you know much more about this than I do.

I don’t see what that has to do with the Type R and how it competes with other hot hatches.

You can be professional and different at the same time, you know.

Yet the OP is arguing that his boss is helping the company by keeping his Porsche at home and driving a Jeep instead. I guess you want to appear successful but not TOO successful, eh?

My employer has no dress code, so I come to work in jeans and a t-shirt. They value the quality of my work more than arbitrary factors like appearance.

I buy it for me to enjoy, and I don’t give rat’s ass what anyone else thinks of it

I had a similar situation. I was being dumb and going 15 over at 3am with nobody else on the road. Suddenly the detector lights up like a Christmas tree and I see some headlights go on in the median as I drive by. Woops!

It hasn’t really been a problem for me. I imagine if they see you doing it you could just say you were getting your paperwork. Either way hiding a radar detector is not a crime and probably not a good enough justification to search your car (emphasis on the probably as I’m not a legal expert by any means).

I think the constant-on or “passive” radar is much more common than people realize. I rarely see cops, on the highway or otherwise, using actual radar or LIDAR guns, probably because they require a lot more interaction from the operator and can’t be used while moving.

A “massive nosedive” might be enough to get you pulled over. But would it hold up in court? Doubtful.

I just toss it in the glovebox before they approach the car.

Laser jammers are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration? That’s news to me!

Radar is still quite ubiquitous, though it varies based on where you live.

Depends how much LIDAR is used in your area really. Here in the midwest it’s only used on highways, and even then they tend to favor passive radar which is much easier to detect.

I don’t recall the article revealing anything about this car’s suspension design.
