Ah, Motorweek.

Ford / GM / Stellantis would have been pilloried for the kind of “we love being slow to change” braggadocio made by Toyota.

DAMMIT!

Erik should have a dashcam (anybody who writes about cars for a living should have a dashcam).

“It seems like GM wants to place almost all the blame for this on LG, and it also seems like LG is willing to accept that blame, or at least willing to pay for it. I’m not sure GM is allowed to get off that easy, though, after all GM was the one who chose LG as a supplier in the first place.”

To paraphrase the OP, “I look out at the sea of Camrys and think, ‘these guys?’”

OnStar was (is?) also used by Honda / Acura, VW / Audi, Mercedes, Subaru; perhaps others as well.

It was a really strange time, which is just another way of saying that everybody was doing some pretty radical things in the mid to late 70s. To whit:

Jason, you are the best!

We don’t know he didn’t mean to hit them. That’s just the claim of his mouthpiece and him at this point.

Plenty of republicunts drive stupid (fast) Teslas.

Don’t look now, people: Ford may have built a better Toyota, and by Toyota, I mean the kind of trucks that made Toyota famous.

Huh. Erik, a guy who lives in NYC and drives a 13-year old econo-Honda, wonders why people would want to drive 600 miles in a single day.

Mercedes, the quality of your work and research continues to amaze.

Only missed the stink room or the zappy chair by 1 year if one of the cyclists dies. Pre-meditated, with clear malice. Way, way beyond manslaughter. So many lives ruined because this is how Texas brings up their kids now.

I’ll make it super easy for you, and go ahead and restate this to assist with your reading comprehension skills. Never said he was dead, Fred.

You win. Superior intellect at play. Calling people morons is the best way to win all arguments.

Good point. Gone from racing, gone from the public, forever. And yet still possesses brain activity superior to yours. 

Apparently Toyota USA wanted a diesel option.
