The study was completed more than five years after their mandatory implementation in Canada. That is more than enough time for the novelty to wear off.

“A 1994 Transport Canada report, Effectiveness of Daytime Running Lights in Canada based on Collision Data Before and After the Implementation of DRL, indicated an overall effectiveness in preventing frontal and lateral collisions between two light-duty vehicles of 8.3 per cent in daylight, and 16.6 per cent in…

I wish that were the case, but DRLs are only required for the headlights in Canada. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve come up behind someone with no taillights on. Also DRL legislation came into effect in ‘89 sometime. I remember it was that year, because it was the year after the ‘88 Olympics, go figure that’s how…

I’ve always felt that a way to get people to do this is if your headlights are not on, your lights aren’t on. You need to turn your headlights on to get your day to turn on. Not sure how this would work with digital dashes, but I think it’s an elegant solution despite that.

Out of curiosity, why don’t you like the leather? I always liked it because it’s harder wearing than fabric and easier to wipe down too.

It wouldn’t be so bad if Nissan USA got rid of the Versa sedan, it is ugly as sin and lobs off about 60% of the utility. It makes zero sense, the Versa Note is better in every metric, including looks and utility. Get your shit together USA!

So essentially TSA is so paranoid that they would prefer you don’t bring anything with you? This is literally a list of what the average person brings with them, besides clothing. This is both a waste of time and money anymore. It is all just security theater anyhow. The TSA should be made to give proof as to how many…

I would be all over this of they came with a French Press lid.

No, is always had an automated manual transmission from day one. Even today the “automatic” is technically a manual transmission.

The Malibu is also one of the best cars in class now. Very impressive car, I can say this after about 5,000 miles driving one that wasn’t mine (rental). I wasn’t expecting much, but was blown over by how good it was in almost every regard. With the exception rear headroom, it matches or exceeds ever class qualifier,…

37 is on the combined cycle. It gets 52 on the highway, and that is impressive.

Hell yes he should buy a prelude. My first car was a (used) 1986 Prelude, and I’m not sure I could have loved a car much more. The older generations were a vacuum-hose-nightmare to work on, but the last generation can probably be had for less than I paid for that thing now. They are pretty much everything you could…

The Cadillac has design continuity, whereas the Lincoln looks like they are trying to tart up a decade old vehicle to make it look new(ish); which is of course exactly what they are doing. It looks good for what it is, but that isn’t saying too much. The front is a mess and is a complete Mish Mash of styling elements…

If this makes it to North America, it will be on the short list. If you can get it in AWD for less than a Subaru Outback, it is almost a sure thing! I’ve long thought that when gas prices creep back up again that modern CUV’s will begin to morph into more wagon-like automobiles, so I’m imagining that we will have a…

I can’t wait to see this! This is the exact cast I wanted to see once they announced the previous ensemble cast. I think these guys look like they will have some actual chemistry. Nobody is under any pretense that it will be the same as old Top Gear, but let it be its own thing and it will likely impress.

You have to look at it through 1999 eyes. It wasn’t perfect, but it was a rebirth of the Z’s original character, which the 300ZX was not any longer (however awesome it was). There was enough to this to get people excited, I remember how exciting the thought of a Z-revival. It looked retro-futuristic in a time where…

Fair enough. Also probably depends where you are I suppose.

70k on the odometer, this car is about ready for a complete rebuild, at the very least it is getting tired. Compound that with a car from an era that, while worthy of having admirers, is just not very sought after; and together you have a owner who is on the edge of delusional. If this car finds a buyer color me…

Fancier than a smart or a B-Class which is all Car2Go offers at this point, so they are fancy in relative terms

We’ve had the B-Class in Calgary for at least a couple years. I honestly thought they were just part of the service everywhere. Car2Go is a pretty big thing here, so adding new vehicles just seems to make sense.
