Yup, you nailed it. It’s entirely a cost-cutting measure for the automakers, and a way to brag that they added more “features” without making the car any better.

1. “Technology” is not a synonym for gimmicks on touchscreens. The Bollinger B1/B2 has lots of technology, and no screens at all.

I’m not here to tell people how to spend their money. But I am here to say some people don’t deserve to have that money in the first place.

“Reminder that the actual summary of a drive in which there was no crash is not showing the drive at all, since we do that every day.”

The video gives you a summary of what happened. It’s not “sensationalist” for CNN to decide to sum things up in a highlight reel, as opposed to expecting people to sit through a 45 minute real-time driving video.

Why do the worst people always capitalize random words in their sentences?

1. How visible is the big center screen in direct sunlight?

Not that I could afford a $150,000 wagon, but if I could, I’d sadly have to pass on this most beautiful wagon of all.

I was honestly worried that it was going to be an actual yoke, the kind that give you nothing at all to hold on to, like the idiotic joke that Tesla played on their Plaid suckers customers.

Hyundai can even make an SUV desirable.

Imagine how hurt and affected I was to find out this band’s name also misrepresented their membership:

I’m sorry that you had to hear about a band you hadn’t heard of before.

With all the other cars that could be had for $50k, I can’t see what Acura has done to ask that price for this CUV.

I can’t imagine who the target market is that would spend $50,000 to own this.

I keep forgetting that they’re still alive

Exactly. Also, if I were deaf in one ear, I’d be EXTRA careful on train tracks. I’m already paranoid about unprotected railroad crossings as it is, no way would I be driving over one without stopping to look if I knew I’d be unable to hear a train coming.

They could have used an existing platform and given it a refresh like the Nissan Z, and come up with something both affordable and desirable. I wish they had.
