Counterpoint - this is vastly more capable than any Tesla.  This car has paint & the verifiable build quality of a Versa.

COTD plz

Cool, provided these are as tough as my P1 Volvo I think this should be my next car. I’m going for a yellow coupe. It’s only for hypermiling to work so if/when I can afford the Honda, I’m hoping to have a tuned V50 to go with it. My current car gets objectively great mileage but definitely not stratospheric Honda…

I work with lidar every day & I don’t see anyone getting to level 3 autonomy, ever. Robot taxis may happen, sure, that doesn’t mean the automation running them will really count as driving. Line follower robots can get hung up on less than one millimeter of reflection, any optics are subject to unpredictable…

I don’t want autonomous driving, only safer manual driving.  Did you manage to get your civic with the 2.0 VTEC or is it a new turbo?

I’m a pro Lidar geek of several years now, but I’m here so I drive 3 pedals. I want a 6 speed stick with radar & ultrasonic rangefinder stuff but it’s not strictly speaking necessary. It would be awesome to view the sensors’ returns on an infotainment screen mode though.

I’m probably a test contributor to the browser SOFTWARE you’re talking shit on.

Engineering software actually, for several thousand kinds of digital imaging.

I’m a developer, here with your gold star for most entitled comment of the year.

Do it. Its’ never failed to start for me & I bought the sketchiest one from the cheapest dealer. Comparing it to the 4motion Sportwagen, the V50 is a bit smaller but way faster & definitely more reliable.

Its’ taken years to learn the car well enough to daily it efficiently.

Around 70mph in 6th gear ONLY. :P

I can win this with my car. Manual, 5cyl, Haldex, wagon, 36mpg highway.

shhhhh

If you buy the gas I might tow fun things home with it.

I suppose I was strictly affording to things I can afford. For that matter, 3.7 is a humongous 5 cylinder so I’m sort of intrigued about the Isuzu & Colorado/Canyon.

The 5 cylinder is probably better than any V8 GM can possibly make, judging by the temperaments & origins of most GM V6s before it.

So you’re saying a multi billion dollar tech conglomerate can’t budge their product’s price point by the cost of the laptop needed to debug it? I thought they were supposed to be motivated by challenges.

Well this is awful.

All I’m seeing is the Limited, I hope I’m wrong since if this were available in single or cab & 1/2 minus all the heavy options I’d be all about it.  The one reason I’d consider something Ford sized is for lots of mountain use so if they offer this engine in a simpler truck, I’d like it as much as I like those…
