There are the times you think you’ll be okay but you won’t...

I love the hypocrisy of this: America is about freedom and capitalism, and we loath countries that don’t espouse these views. Of course, those views are only held internally until such point that we realize either of those two things is inconveniencing us, then stuff it.

“We can not employ people with a living wage on services alone.”

I stand with you, man. I want a clean look, and if I’ve purchased the feature on it, I want it to work with the display that already exists there. Especially if they say it’s going to. I find it funny that the responses to your post are a) No YOU’RE trashy and cheap (i.e., the anti-Fordites), b) Look at this super…

Oh come on now, that’s largely bs.

I don’t know what all the fuss is about...

Yep, it is. The people have spoken.

Is this car still going to be a sedan with a tiny trunk lid just so that the salesperson can proudly proclaim to a perspective client that “this car has the biggest piece of glass in the industry”? Because I would be so happy that Tesla has sacrificed the opportunity to make a small hatchback-shaped thing a useful…

Yep, but you’re wrong.

27, XC70. Same problem.

Yeah sure, go buy a Juke.

Did you opt for the adaptive suspension? I really like these things, but I’m concerned that the ride quality is incredibly harsh on our crappy roads in Montreal.

Totally agree. This car seems to have a different focus, and frankly I understand it. The car is meant to be a little faster, more comfortable on the highway, and generally a little bit more usable for those of us (read: me) who don’t want to have a jarring ride as a necessary component to an otherwise fun package. As…

“The only things young people care about are brands and appearances.”

What? That’s almost a third again as much money. How is that “close.” I suspect that you’d find even a millionaire would balk at a $70k price difference.

Okay, so its not just non-Prius owners? Current owners also find it ugly? I was assuming they had done some sort of owner focus group that had told them that look was somehow appealing to hybrid owners...

You made my joke for me, King_squid. Every Japanese car I’ve encountered has that response. The idea being: if there’s something wrong with the engine, there ain’t no way in hell you should be using cruise control. Admittedly, I’ve only been able to ‘discover’ this on two Japanese cars in the 25 years my family have…

Another I drove had an engine warning light screaming for attention from the instrument binnacle, and the cruise control refused to switch on

Again, if this is the humour you’re whipping out...did they just stop inviting you to things? Is that what you’re doing here?

Ugh, this just makes my inexplicable XC70 crush wooorse. Why do I want one of these* so badly??!?!?!
