The old 1 Series M was a legit M car. And from what I've heard from BMW folks, within the M division it's one of their all-time favorites.

I'd love to see these younger buyers who can afford a $45k car. They can't even afford Scions, and everyone knows how much of a success that brand was.

AMG needs some space...

I agree. Put a bullet in the damn things. Like most traffic law enforcement they are used for legal theft from the citizenry.

i see this as an opportunity to take advantage of our still lenient firearms laws.

Solution:

Vomit. I guess could expect something like this from Government Motors.

No words are needed.

Honda...the stuff they put out now as opposed to the ass-kickers they were releasing in the late 80's to late 90's is total shit......What the heck is their halo car anyway. This is why we cant have nice things.

Lancia. Top Gear was all over this a few years ago, but they've turned out some of the greatest and worst cars over the years. Too bad they're mostly re-badged Chryslers these days.

Easy answer: Saab

Oh no, they're under no such delusions. They're hoping that enough voters are under that delusion though, so that these regulations are passed.

Some cars already do this.

Stop mandating idiot devices and fix the problem of undereducated and trained driver in the US?

Yeah, safety.

A big problem is that an old car would be "invisible" without some kind of RFID tag. And then you get into privacy concerns. True the government already requires registration but they don't have an active method of tracking your car in real time (or do they).

Radar cruise control... is the most maddening thing ever. Mandating it, and the related automatic braking, might well be enough to ensure I never buy a new car again, and that my stable continues to get older as I avoid that tech.

Somewhere on Earth, another rabbit knows exactly how it feels to have electical issues:

There are like, ten million Chinese manufacturing jokes in here.

You got it. A world with no personal responsibility should be free of consequences. Failure shouldn't hurt, and everyone gets a trophy.
