That was basically the progressive viewpoint at the time. Instead of relentlessly and shamelessly exploiting the working class, without a care as to their health, education and quality of life, as had been the usual way of doing things in industry up to that point, the new idea was to improve the life of the working…

Not uncommon. While Ford may have been a bit more intrusive in some aspects, a great many companies were run in the same way. They were trying to be mini-utopias (a popular notion at the time). They provided housing, medical care, and recreation. Everything revolved around the company. And for your good labor, the…

I've had the MFT in my Focus for nearly 2 yrs now. Got a proper demo and spent about 20-30 minutes parked playing with all the features. I have my share of criticisms but they are related to improving/tweaking the already IMHO very good system. There is no reason for me to have to control the HVAC through the…

I totally disagree. The MMI system in my 2014 A4 is sluggish and way over-complicated.

Ford's MyFord Touch with voice-activated climate control and radio tuning; internet; apps; optional HD Radio; SD card slot for user-supplied tunes & photos.

Latest version of Sync. Live and learn.

NOT the ones in the GM suvs (sans caddy cause I wanna say they use a different one) those are terrible. The mygig in the jeep (and other chrysler products) isnt too bad.

I have always wondered why, for years and years (until the Bugatti finally knocked it out) in the back of R&T's road test the McLaren was listed as an Ameritech McLaren. Never knew but now I have the answer.

Why the fuck is this clickbait on the Jalopnik front page?

I think just about any Gawker site is.

Because it's not related to cars! How hard is it to understand?! You tell me, because apparently you don't get it.

Why is this on jalopnik!!!!!

Yeah, so?? How is what gay people do, directly related to cars?!?

Sooooo if someone goes to the bathroom in Detroit we're supposed to read about it on a car dedicated site??

WTF does this have to do with cars?

LMAO @ Gawker liberals. You're all for democracy as long as everyone agrees with you. This is a state's issue and there are plenty of states that want rump riders to live free and proud. There are some that don't. Let people decide what they want and find another place to live if you don't like the local laws voted…

so if someone sneezes in Detroit, we gotta read about it too

Seriouysly, you need to STOP with this proGay stuff on Gawker. Not everyone is a fan of homosexuality. You do not need to post your personal opinions on a car blog. Noone wins when you do this. It's the reason I stopped going on Deadspin, and now I'm double thinking of going on here.

Hey everyone look another irrelevant (to auto) post from Jalopnik Detroit !

Miata sharing the cover with a McLaren F1? Because even when the question is about hyper cars, the answer is Miata.
