The 2015 Chrysler 200 will be better because it couldn't possibly be worse.

My brother's Volvo S80 features this one. It should be labeled "Smack rear-seat passengers."

I love this. My wife's Nissan has a CVT and I'm generally very impressed with it. The modern electronically-controlled CVTs must have some mechanical interface that varies the ratios (at computer command)... there must be a Jalop out there who could create a functional linkage to that mechanism.

When are you all going to realize that 20 years before Miata was always the right answer, 914 was always the right answer.

I was in San Francisco recently and walked into the Union Square Ferrari store near my hotel. While there were plenty of super-expensive things in there, I was hoping to find my son a tee shirt or a hat or something otherwise reasonable to give to a child who'll outgrow it in 6 months.

Associazione Calcio of the District of Columbia. That is, A.C./D.C.

How about if they launch a brand of stylish vehicles that appeal to a younger demographic, and many of their models would be rebadged Opels. Perhaps they could name it after a planet...

Saab pretty much built that.

Rosebud...

The latest systems (e.g. the one in my wife's new Nissan) have solved for that.

The one and only flaw of proximity keys, according to Torch and everyone who's commented, is that if the user does something stupid, the punishment is worse with a proximity key than with a metal key. And by something stupid, I mean forgetting your keys, letting someone walk away with your keys, etc.

In my own experience, having a proximity key enhances the experience.

By the same logic, Cell phones suck. Those old school phones had a cord that kept them tethered to the wall so you'd never lose them. Plus, no batteries.
