“Capitalism makes a better case for socialism than socialism ever could.”

Airbag systems, pioneered in MotoGP racing, actually do provide enhanced rider protection beyond what an armored jacket does, particularly for collar bones and shoulders (depending on the design).

“I don’t have that privilege”..... It’s hard to believe he said that haha

See also: most brands. There’s niche stuff and there’s stuff that pays the bills.

It is entirely possible for manufacturer to make one really good car and another that is deeply average and forgetful.

The article mentions that it’s heavily related to the Atlas and Tiguan, both cars that are very well known to be Fine™ but ultimately bland, generic, American-targeted SUVs. The GTI, and especially the mk7, is known to be made by people who give a damn about driving.

Yes, it was front-wheel-drive, but it was also one of the best-handling front-drivers ever made.

More than I paid for my house.
