100% this!

Am I the only one getting viscerally uneasy by watching these videos? I go flailing through a spectrum of emotions, none pleasant.

Keep the rotary engine, connect it to the horn. When you pounce the center of the steering wheel, the engine spins up with a Wankel roar!

“You make one silver coin, I make ten silver coins. It is fair!”

So chinese taxpayers are subsidizing low prices on EVs in Europe, and EU is annoyed by this?

I always thought a cross-over was a “normal” car that was lifted a bit. Perhaps ruggedized by adding plastic liners around the wheel well. Intended to be a sedan or wagon that can take gravel and dirt.

100% love lifted sportscars. They make sense on scandinavian roads, especially if one could get 4WD as well.

The guy in that video looks terrified. Elbows out, stiff crouch.

There are those that still do that? How 80's!

While I understand your sentiment - do you really filter your bike choices by the displacement?

Future power production via lots of small sources (solar, wind) require buffers, and there is no practical way to solve that right now.

Sure, it is nice with 270° twins but I don’t understand your recurring obsession with the 90 HP. There is nothing special about it, and there are lots of engines like that around.

So we have the blackest black and the whitest white.

My old contemporary red IROC-Z with louvres & all.

There are also these things called roofs that work splendidly.

Camaro ad brags about “matching numbers”.

While I applaude 270° inline-twins, you make this sound like something noteworthy.

Some sort of “Look what we can do! Aren’t we neat?” thing.

TL;DNR - but was this feature perchance something you enabled/activated/consciously opted into, without a hesitation or second thought about the possibility of dropping the phone or even just tapping it too hard causing it to do precisely this that you are now lambasting it for?

The Ténéré is built upon an XT600E, so beware: I had one of those and the suspension was ass. I’d take the former generation with kick start over that one any time.
