Convenience. Of course they will be $100,000 at first. But, as with anything, it will get cheaper over time. In the late 70s, Mercedes SLs had automatic climate control. Now it comes on econo-hatches the world over.

Happens all the time around here. TBH I'd use it for the highway portion of my commute. I'd rather drive the back roads myself.

I live in Rural PA. We don't have public transit. When I worked in Philadelphia, I would take the train from the furthest station out. Good 1:05 of sleeping/texting/gaming etc. Public transit doesn't exist in rural America, yet.

Am I the only one who is looking forward to sleeping an extra 20 minutes on my mundane commute to work? I love my drive home, because I take the back way, but I could give up my 730AM highway ride.

Soon they'll be more profitable than Chrysler

My truck only gets used when I am towing or I have something in the bed, be it a run to the storage unit, a trailer headed up to auto-x, or a boat trailer. I have a regular car for the rest of the time. That's why I didn't want manual. I am always paying attention to my straps and my speed instead of a clutch.

This reminds me of a post I saw in another thread about distracted driving. He literally said he was better at managing multitasking than everyone else, and therefore he should be allowed to text and drive, as he's a better driver while texting than other people who are paying attention. Hard to hate on because of the

I did not learn on a manual car. I learned on something much scarier. 2000 F-250 S/D Diesel 7.3L Crew Cab. Try taking your eyes of the road in one of those when you're 16. You'll swipe 6 cars and not even feel it.

1: There are times I would agree with you, but this is hardly the problem. A few spots here and there where there are plenty of signs close together is a whole lot different than driving and playing a sax.

The far back seats have a small 18"x9" sunroof. The second row has two. The first row has a normal sized one.

Just purchase this $40,000 extended service plan, my kind sir, and your Fiat Abarth comes free!

Is this really more dangerous than, say, eating a bag of chips, or putting in a CD though? I'd argue it isn't that bad, at all.

And we do not RDR factory orders to Ford until the customer takes delivery. That figure wouldn't be counted in sales figures.

Called it when I first saw the MKZ. It's going to carry the brand until they can create an actually competitive line.

Top 10? Probably. Best, probably not.

Not as good as the previous gen Integra Type R due to changes in the rear suspension and added weight.

I work at a Ford store. I drive my customers for ST (and Raptor and Mustang) test drives. I always have to clean a little pee off their seat, and control the grin on mine. My next car for sure (I still owe too much on my current to do it right now without losing money, but probably 6-10 months from now).

Have you ever driven one? Mountains of torque steer, crazy under-steer and a really weird weight distribution. Not near as nice to drive as a Focus ST, and still miles behind the mid-90s Integras.

I'm salary + units at my Ford store. It's less common than your % based commission stores, but it's not unique, either. I also drive 40 minutes to work one way to work at such a store. I sleep much better at night now than I ever did on % based commission.

Training wheels. My riding.
