That’s fine, because F1 isn’t NASCAR. F1 is a constructors’ championship as much as it is a drivers’ championship, and that’s because the teams each build their own car from the ground up. The engineers matter as much as the driver.

Bentley needs to be more like Koenigsegg and build a car that’s so slow it only needs a one-speed transmission. Very irresponsible.

Why an eight speed?

Exactly. My wife was always one of those “I’ll never be a soccer mom in a minivan!”. Then we had our 3rd child and a 3 row SUV (Yukon/Suburban/Escalade not withstanding) just doesn’t cut it. I coaxed her into looking at a Carnival to see the potential, now she can’t wait for the market to calm down so we can get one.

As a 23XI fan, I’m excited about this new design. They slapped a flat tip on the nose so other manufacturer driven cars will work with them on super speedways. That said, I do prefer the looks of the outgoing nose.

I know they wont, but I really want them to sell a V8 RWD 2 door Camry.  I’d drive it.

The problem is people don’t follow the warnings because of the way it has been marketed. In their understanding that is just nanny legal shit that Tesla has to put in there, and it is meant to be ignored.

When I bought my Tesla, the sales associate very clearly stated that only government regulation was preventing Tesla from having full autonomy. Even then, it was necessary to believe in a conspiracy against Elon to believe in FSD. This was when Tesla had only just released AP2 with the side cameras on the Model S door…

Yes, advertise for years and years, say one thing, and then deliver another.

We should not be beta-testing this kind of thing on public roads. I really hope this case goes to an actual trial. No settlements. Don’t let Elon write a little check to make this go away. People were killed using software that was absolutely not ready to be deployed to the public.

They pretty much all share platforms, the GC you referenced shares a platform with Alfa Guilia and the Maserati Gran Tourismo. With the Guilia being the first car on that platform. 

What can I say, I like station wagons:

The grid penalty is the ultimate insult after a defective track ruins your car and costs beaucoup Euros to fix.

The older is definitely less busy. But something about not having the manufacturer logo on the grill makes me like the new one better. I’m tired of the huge ass logos front and center. While those usually hide the ACC (radar?) sensor, I prefer that clean black grille. 

This looks like a significantly better design. I’d actually be interested in this for my kids. I had a small Yamaha as a kid.

Oh yeah, I hadn’t thought of that. There must be a way to build a crumple zone that doesn’t look like an engine bay though! *shrug*

What’s needed is for the lot owner to sign a contract with a 2nd towing company to tow A1 whenever they appear on the lot. 

Honestly surprised no employees of these predatory towing companies have been shot yet.  

Angry jeep face is a guarantee that the driver is an A-hole.

Someone should do the math, but I’m thinking a Prius (or any hybrid) that’s going 80+ still sips less gas than other non-electrified vehicle. Furthermore, any other non-freeway driving of that person will still yield better MPGs.
