switch feel is still an important thing to most companies, at least those which aren’t just making cut-rate knockoffs.  

well, we’re mostly interested in fuel economy, not necessarily engine efficiency.  while it’s true a more efficient engine is more economical, a smaller, less powerful engine can also be more economical even if it isn’t more efficient. 

I’m curious how the foam holds together with that much fat introduced in the mix.

but really the “advancements” in display tech have been little more than higher resolution, faster response time, and backlight tricks. Oh, and trying to make OLED cheaper. and everybody in the industry is working on that. small incremental improvements. There’s nothing clearly on the horizon which is a significant…

not necessarily. The two can be done as long as we stop expecting more and more horsepower as well.  there’s no reason a 5 seat CUV “needs” 300 horsepower, even with our interstate highways. 

that’s so you can activate the horn with either hand. the early airbag steering wheels did this too, until they figured out how to make the airbag compact enough to put the horn switch back under the hub.

Pontiac or GTFO :D

I’m getting used to my Ranger, but I’ve left auto stop/start enabled, I like adaptive cruise, but I’ve turned lane keep assist off.  

alright, I’ve got to try the Flamin’ hot one.  Though I’ve burned out most of my palate on stuff like wings with dave’s ghost pepper sauce on them, so on my scale they’ll probably be on the tame side. 

In 2009, 33,883 Americans died in car crashes. If you relate that to how many people die compared to how much we are driving, that represented 1.15 deaths per 100 million miles traveled. In 2019, we were basically static.

no but it does make sense; keeping the partially melted surface away from air eliminates the sublimation that also contributes to freezer burn.

that’s why they’re partnering with Magna Steyr, who has a long history of contract manufacturing complete vehicles (they used to build the EU market versions of Jeeps and Chrysler minivans, for example.) I used to work for Sony in their automotive supply business; they DO know what it takes to bring a car to market,…

then why are the restaurants they do this to so pissed off? Did you read any of my links, or are you just going to keep your fingers stuck in your ears?  it doesn’t matter that they’re not charging the restaurant, they’re still fraudulently representing themselves as the restaurant, charging the customer as though…

IT IS WHEN DOORDASH AND GRUBHUB INSERT THEMSELVES INTO THE CHAIN WITHOUT THE RESTAURANT’S KNOWLEDGE

unlike Dyson and Apple, Sony actually has a long history of being an automotive supplier.  They have a lot more knowledge of what it takes to design a car and bring it to market. 

What would you know about America, since I can see your comment history and your English is clearly non-native. So what city in Russia are you posting from, shit-stirrer?

to be fair, Ralph Nader didn’t really kill the Corvair. the Chevy II (Nova) did. The Corvair cost a lot more to make than the more traditional (and downsized) Chevy II, and customers weren’t really willing to pay more for it.

I remember seeing a Thing on the road here and there in MI, but I’m about a decade older than you. And they weren’t even a slim fraction as common as the Beetle.

only if you interpret “city vehicle” as “vehicle which looks like a city.”

just get a jar of this and tart them up to your hearts content.
