Differences between Euro tires and North American ones makes this kind of a pointless article for a US site.  Despite being called the same thing, the Euro CrossClimate2 is different than the one sold in North America.

No; loads of “waterproof” watches won’t survive anywhere near their supposed depth rating, and loads of them also wouldn’t survive waterskiing.  I’ve ruined enough watches on the water to know.

Even UL 752 Level 1, an actual test standard for “bulletproof” claims, only tests with “standard” 9mm.

Tesla, well Elon Musk, said the doors were bulletproof.

A watch will say waterproof up to x meters.

the actual information is that it is exactly as bulletproof as sheet steel.

Why there isn’t a regulation for this, is beyond me.

1) Imagine having the kind of money you can just shoot your new truck

A dismissal of the complaint is not the same as a finding of innocence.

but instead let the alleged messages be leaked.

Whatever happened to this company?

I get your point. I worked for a pump company that tried to develop a naming scheme. X came to mean “two-stage” but then a couple years later a hazardous location pump (commonly referred to as “explosion proof”) was going to be introduced. In an early planning meeting, marketing wanted X to mean eXplosion proof. My…

It’d make sense to just stick with their not-bad naming scheme, even if an R2T never came about.

Weird that they abandoned their barely established naming convention.  I feel like this should be named the R2S.  

Why wasn’t Horner suspended while the investigation happened?

Who the fuck is working in marketing these days. Hyundai had a similarly cringey (for nearly opposite reasons) video with this shit:

Volume isn’t the only thing that matters.  The gti may have had more volume for tall things but it was too narrow.

My point in using those other examples before was to show that the H3 doesn’t look that much different than those cars that are being sold today, one of which is a brand new design, the others of which aren’t all that old (G-Class excepted).

The 4th generation Eclipse was an even bigger let down.  I remember the initial designs were all over magazines and there were articles about how it was going to completely save the Eclipse... but then just about everything about the car was shit.

I’m guessing you laid the TV on it’s back (which you aren’t supposed to do) and therefore that made it more practical? I’m not sure a narrow shape definition means its more practical overall. There’s numerous things that count against the Eclipse when it comes to practicality; 2-door only, tall things less likely to…
