There's at least a headlight washer in there.

Those are the test weights as given by Car and Driver...

Mercedes E-class wagons!

If they just came out of left field with a new Dakota, I would shit bricks.

I don't think I want to drive a vehicle designed by you guys. What's up with all the nanny features. Back-up camera? Only really been useful for hooking up a trailer alone. Blind spot monitoring? Pass. Rain sensing wipers? I can manage with a switch. Rev matching? Sure, a decent system is better than I am, but…

What one is the Paceman again?

Also, International had a couple vehicles with stacked lights starting in '58 or '59.

Well over half tread? How many miles are you expecting to get? 25,000 miles is pretty short lasting.

Also, Nash put stacked headlights on every '57.

What was the first stacked headlight car? For some reason I'm thinking DeLorean wasn't behind them.

Your car on fire? Pull right up into a gas station!

The biggest sense of confusion is that when other reviews basically say "average" for a category like braking, yet they get a solidly above average score. See the S5 Cabriolet review for example. From the words, a person would surmise that the brakes are just average. Yet it scores a 7.

Much like acceleration, the MKC's braking is just fine for the jobs it will be called on to do. I drove it from NC to West Virginia, up and down mountains, and the brakes gave no issues, even on some reasonably hard stops. Are they likely to hold up well on a track day? My guess is probably not, but I'd still love to…

The M5 weighs 4389. The E63 4matic weighs 4503. I'll take the extra 114 lbs and 17 hp and 77 lb-ft of torque. And that's not even reaching for the S trim. With the S trim, you're looking at 25 hp and 90 lb-ft of torque over the M5.

Saab's used to have the rear wiper automatically come on if the windshield wipers were on and you shifted into reverse. Every time it happened I thought "Those Swedish engineers are damn clever."

It used to be just a Saab thing, but now a couple different makes do it: That extra wipe after you use the windshield washers. It would do the normal "spray and wipe" and then after the blades went back and fourth a couple times, it would stop, wait a bit, and then do one last wipe. It was perfect because the washer…

THANKS FOR THANKING STANGO, BALLABAN!

That leaves the Japanese and the two frontrunners are Mazda and Suzuki. Given Mitsubishi's partnership with Nissan Renault and Suzuki's work with Toyota it seems like Mazda is the obvious choice. Will they go with the obvious choice? There are too many factors to say for sure, but it does add interesting context to…

I think car designers have reached full retard.

NYPD paid nothing? HAHAHAHA!
