Unfortunately the take rate on a Buick manual would be so low that they’d just point to Cadillac if that’s what you really want.

Seeing as how the Regal GS has an available manual and seeing as how this is based on the Camaro. I think a manual is not at all a far-fetched possibility.

Monza, I’d say: big, luxurious, 6 cylinder.

Wow, a concept car with side mirrors! What a ... concept.

No. It’s a prototype. Tesla will have to replace all of their current charging stations if they want to make autonomous charging a reality.

It has a twin-turbo V6, so they’re pretty much already there.

Naahhh, Calibra is for FWDs, Manta is where it’s at.

I disagree entirely. The Subaru 4EAT is slow and stupid, and SVX’s regularly ate their transmissions. The 5MT used in the more powerful Japanese Imprezas would have been a much better fit.

Also Subaru just didn’t have a manual that could handle the car’s engine at the time. I’ve read where people have done manual swaps with later transmissions, however.

up until about the ‘90s, you can surely bet any Japanese car rated at “276 hp” (280 PS) was underrated to some extent.

Unless you live in New Jersey.

That’s great description. Thanks.

and it’ll automatically charge itself along the journey

It was a very high end car at the time, with a twin-turbo, three-rotor engine (the only Mazda to do so), one of the first built-in nav systems and touch screens (in color- keep in mind this thing came out in 1990) in a car- plus it had a fuckton of regular features. It was a halo car for Mazda, and they haven’t made…

this is why autonomous vehicles still require a driver, to make the judgment to apply the brakes. the driver would still be at fault, and if they wished to sue tesla after the fact, then nothing is stopping them from trying.

It’s just tilted way up

Three rotors and two turbos.

Ok....let me explain

So it can navigate in and out of charging stations autonomously and charge itself too? News indeed.

Until you have a kid, you don’t really understand why people do this, but once you do you will inevitably do it too; it’s all about development benchmarks and pediatric visits, which are all in months up until about age two. After that most parents switch to years (or at least fractions like 2 and a half).
