Kids playing with Spacey men nearly landed the latter in jail.

Nowhere did I say that this particular CU can slap an Intel-based one, but I can see how you might read it that way. Rather, I am saying that the idea of a future where ARM-based CPUs are a normal thing in the PC-space and have matured to the point where they can compete head-on with the established x86 players is…

Also National Guard = Guardsman, IIRC.

The Apple development of the M1 in and of itself is not what’s interesting to this die-hard PC user. Rather, it’s the first consumer-oriented proof-of-concept that an instruction set other than one based on x86/amd64 can produce a competitively potent general personal computer, i.e. not an inherently neutered device…

Anything so vastly removed from what we know about the franchise—particularly the Skywalker saga—has to balance feeling worthy of being called new, while paradoxically still delivering that vague, yet tangible, feel of Star Wars. 

I wouldn’t say so. BMW still has it on the M and it’s not a huge leap to go from a fully tricked out M340/M440 to an M3/M4 with a stick.

Maybe if they didn’t force you to take the shit engine and shit interior with that manual, the G70 might still have that option. But we’ll never know.

Came here to say basically the same thing, saw it was already said. This interior would make a Dodge Nitro blush.

Even Audi is suffering. They are putting those hideous capacitive button steering wheels on EVERYTHING. You can’t even get the flat-bottom wheel anymore on the A4/S4 and related unless you pay $12,000 extra for the special Launch Edition RS5.

There’s not a chance in hell that the pricing resembles anything like your straight across-the-pond conversion there.

Read it again.

I don’t find the Tesla any better looking because its design is built to highlight the fact that there is no grille rather than letting the lack of a grille just blend into the overall look of the vehicle. So, as a result, the Tesla also has that skin-pulled-back-over-the-mouth look (insert that old .gif of that one…

Volvo is essentially autonomous and development of the products is still Swedish for now. Until Geely succeeds in fully absorbing control of Volvo and re-incorporating them in Hong Kong, which is what they are currently working toward, I will call them Swedish.

Having recently driven a ‘19 A5 and a ‘20 S60 T6 R-Design, and coming up on the end of my ‘18 S3 lease, there is nothing in it for the Volvo. It can handle, but everything about the response is blunted compared to the Audi and the safety mechanisms are an irritation rather than a help. The Audi is also objectively quic…

What I misread was “without” as “with” because brains do things sometimes.

The Volvo is a fantastic luxury car, but it comes without the normal baggage of buying a German brand.

Aero efficiency being even more paramount to EVs makes me snicker at Volvo and Polestar’s design language consisting of stylish bricks.

GM’s issue is that everything revolves around Chevrolet, and EVs are inherently too expensive to really work as Chevrolet vehicles in the segments that are selling. If GM can’t make a case for Chevrolet when choosing whether they will invest in a project, that project will struggle to succeed if it gets green-lit at…

This one has a 2-speed transmission along with a reverse. Most have only a single speed and a reverse.

Not gonna lie, I still have the clear blue plastic wrapper underneath my rear passenger seatbelts...after 3 years of daily driving.
