They kept improving them for a number of years in France. Maybe even sorely needed power steering. Probably crap in a crash, but I loved mine then and would love one now. Maybe wacky, but to me just cool and definitely interesting in every possible way.

Before that, Audi made products really famous for not working at all.
THAT'S FOUR OF THEM NOW!!!
ALL RIGHT THAT'S THREE STUPID INCOHERENT SPAMS IN A ROW!!! HOW ABOUT GETTING A DAMN SPAM RESISTANT COMMENTING SYSTEM HERE, MAYBE WITHOUT STUPID TEXTBOXES WHILE YOU ARE AT IT!!!
Who knew that I would be diverted into hours of Wikipedia reading about various vintage British planes because of a damn CAR website!
Yeah, what is that anyway, Autolegend?
According to actual research, those things do in fact increase reaction time etc. but not nearly as much as a phone. See, what you imagine isn't the same as actual studies.
Many states have laws against talking on hand held phones at this point but not speakerphones. The research indicates that the law should apply equally to both. It is irresponsible for car companies to supply speakerphones, but they all do it now, even with voice calling and steering wheel buttons etc. to make it even…
He was entirely not at fault, and talking on any kind of phone severely reduces your attention to driving.
This accident was not his fault. And using a speaker phone you are not distracted by talking out loud. You are distracted by having a converstation with someone not there, and your brain can only focus mainly on one thing at a time.

Talking on the phone in any form is the opposite - they conversation occupies…
That is not what research shows.
Which makes no difference.
Not according to actual studies.
Because it is. There was a study using simulators and people talking on a cellphone had reactions equal to being drunk. Hand held or speakerphone made no difference. I think talking to a person in the car had a lesser effect. I'm guessing that when talking to someone who is not there the brain creates an image of the…
I'm really surprised that there are so many grumpy ass bitches (three words I have never put together before) commenting on this blog, where the comments are usually clever and amusing and enlightening and in fact habit forming. Southwest cabin guys have been wearing shorts in the summer (it's Southwest Airlines, not…
Does this count?
Once absorbed into GM about a hundred years ago, all GM brands were badge engineered. But in the far olden days they had exclusive frames and drivetrains, and different images based on that and superficially different styling images. Ford and Mercury were the same car except for a few years in the late 50's, and they…
