Very light pressure on the gas peddle when you see the situation coming up stops that from happening. I know that defeats the purpose of the Adaptive Cruise Control, but sometimes you need to.

Well the good news is that Mazda adaptive cruise is entirely consistent at failing the “bend to the left while a big truck is in the lane to your right” use case, so I just proactively jump in before it tries to murder me again.

The silver lining of this is that by making a car that will be repulsive to their current fan base because it’s not a Hemi V8, and then choosing to advertise it in a way that is repulsive to most people actually interested in EVs, they are setting themselves up for a third customer base: People super excited to buy a…

I was genuinely kinda interested in the new Charger, and after this ad... man, I dunno. Even if he’s just spewing a bunch of crap that he doesn’t believe in to try and entice the MAGA crowd, it’ll still wind up basically making this the automotive form of a MAGA hat. I wouldn’t wanna been seen in one.

Yeah I wonder how they will get to the ‘electric cars take six days to charge, the battery only lasts two years and they have a 50 mile range’ folks 

When he says “brotherhood” I keep hearing the word “Aryan” in front of it.

I hate these “used luxury car X is the same price as normal car Y” comparisons.

Will it be cheaper if I order without the small dick-energy air horn exhaust?

Finally, an electric car for us assholes!

Are they trying to win over the proudly poorly educated group that will not change their views in the face over overwhelming science and research studies?

am I the only 1 who prefer 2-door coupe ??

The Celica All-trac was also pretty complex.  I remember the 3S-GTE looking like a bag of snakes when you popped the hood.

My neighbor has that car. If I remember correctly he said that if there is a leakage in the hydraulic system, you may as well replace all the tubes because it’s super hard to find out where exactly the leak is. He then made a face that looked like Hide the Pain Harold.

Can’t believe you forget the Citroën CX (and the SM). Not only were they French, with hydropneumatic suspensions, they used Masarati engines. 

Geely doesn’t own Jaguar (you might be thinking of Volvo). It’s part of Jaguar Land Rover, which is owned by Tata (an Indian conglomerate). Agreed though, it’s highly unlikely that Jaguar Land Rover the corporation goes bankrupt. More likely they sell the brand, or spin it off and reinvent it.

I would have thrown the 3000GT VR4 in there instead of the SVX. But yes, most of the high end bubble era cars were crazy complex.

Even when they are controlled automatically with a thermostat? In my car, for example, you set the thermostat, i.e. “68", and then it uses a combination of blowing warm or cool air, heated seats, or heated steering wheel to accomplish it. Unless you’re being exceptionally picky, you don’t need to manually go press a…

Not to mention that no Palestinian under the age of 35 has ever had a chance to vote on their own governance, despite Palestinian calls for, and Israel’s refusal to allow new elections. 

FOUND IT. Yeah, HAMMERED. Still want it, Bradley?
