“People who are eating food will, reportedly, eat food again.”

I had a similar issue with my 1978 Lincoln Continental mark V, which came with 15" steel wheels from the factory. I ordered a set of 17" Mach-1 style wheels for it, and the 17s wouldn’t clear the brake calipers (4 wheel discs). Turns out the rotors were huge for a 70s car, 14" or something ridiculous. The original 15s…

It’s also ugly, and arguably not a van. One of the biggest selling point of a van is the convenience of sliding doors which this doesn’t have.

My Pope on a Rope suddenly feels inadequate.

I’ll both AGREE and DISAGREE with you. The Fiero was typical of malaise-era GM engineering which is to say very, very poor. On the other hand, to think that 80's General Motors not only conceived of a two-door, mid-engined sporty car but BUILT it is amazing. The amount of committees and management sign-offs had to be…

“Speed Duel” is my answer to the question asked last week ‘What Should Be The Next Racing Movie’

Here’s your side by side proof that old is better.

Face looks super Audi to me. First thing I thought before reading it was a Jag.

bp3dots is correct; assembling machines like batteries and electric motors is much more friendly to electronic devices. ICE’s? Not so much. They’re generally assembled with robotic assistance, but still require the divine touch of a human.

Well your question didn’t specify a relation to electric cars, but I’ll rephrase:

My understanding is that the length shortening/manuverability isn’t as valuable as the comfort of sleeper cabs the common trucker needs for their long hauls.

Capacitive buttons on the steering wheel, to make sure you press things accidentally and can’t be certain which button you’re reaching for without looking down:
