Ignore what we think.

If I can’t have a Mazda6 wagon...this isn’t a bad consolation prize.

If I didn’t know better, I’d say this is New Hampshire- but of course it isn’t.

Sidelights are required in the US...which is mostly why Canadian market cars have them, too. Most OEMs simply integrate them more neatly these days into the existing headlight and taillight housings.

(Apropos to nothing, but for reference:)

C-130, a medium/large cargo transport:

The implication (and original example, a brand new V-6 Camaro) was there. Was it explicit? No. Was it implied? Yes.

Flag on the play:

Inclusion of aftermarket, straight pipe, or altogether deleted exhausts. Ten yard penalty and loss of journalistic integrity. Second down.

This might get me kicked out of Jalopnik, but...I really can’t stand the SportCross. It’s about the only car out there that shouldn’t have made the transition to longroof. The slight upsweep between the C and D pillars; the ungainly angle of the rear glass that doesn’t quite match up with the rest of the car...meh.…

But almost no one knows what an HX is; everyone knows what an FJ is. Their mental database will pull up “FJ” WAAAAYYY before HX.

I mean, I get what they were going for, here- but average Person On The Street is gonna see one of these out in the wild and think it’s a new body style FJ.

They don’t fix GM interior plastics, though.

I wanna know what sorcery was involved in getting rid of the GM squeaks and rattles.

I work in the industry and have been around airplanes in a professional capacity for about 25 years now. I’m not making unknown assumptions. I know what it takes to get something certified; I know weight and complexity are the enemies of good aircraft design (and this system adds both.)

This is a flight of fancy and…

My former 1998 Volvo S70 GLT. The combination of the turbo and five cylinders made for an interesting, but wholly not unpleasant, aural experience under WOT.

...and the extra weight/complexity of a system like this is a shit ton of fuel burned, maintenance checks performed, and certification nightmares.

There are other displays suppliers and integrators with much greater experience in large platforms than Garmin. These aren’t Cessnas.

Your anthem, sir.

Probably the only Volvo ever made that looks better as a sedan than a wagon. Nothing but clean, simple lines as far as the eye can see.

Damn, I love this.
