“The cockpit is cursed with the same tacked-on-tablet infotainment interface automakers insist on clinging to everywhere, but otherwise looks refined and smooth.”

It boggles the mind that none of the pilots reported the incident once they landed. You would think that would be one of the first things you would do once you safely arrived after averting a near disaster. Not to take any onus away from Boeing but damn, some of that is to blame on the previous air crew.

Kind of surprised how well that interior has aged.

I wonder how much that and the GMC version will start to rattle over time???

David,

Since the it’s still got the 5.2 as in the GT350 I’m assuming it’s retained the flat planned crank...

I can’t imagine how hard it would be to make COE style pickups meet today’s crash standards.

That would be fucking amazing!

Front brake caliper is just hanging with a socket wedged into it!!!

What happened to integrating the infotainment screen into the dash? Seems like all the cars now have this “tacked on iPad” look and it just looks like lazy design. 

More than likely it was just written into the script to give the audience an emotive response to key characters in the film. If the droids were just simply non emotive moving boxes then the audience wouldn’t care about their fate. They would just become disposable appliances and not beloved characters.

I’m surprised Honda didn’t do this with the Ridgeline.

Bro...!

Absolutely! I wish my truck had one!

My wife has a Volvo XC60 and I can tell you from personal experience that the Pilot Assist is annoying when used. It’s constantly adjusting the wheel as your driving and makes it feel like your fighting it. It weaves ever so slightly within the lane. The only thing that I like to use is the adaptive cruise control and…

I see some Mercedes influence in that rear end and rear 3/4.

What else do you use a bright green Lambo for anyhow? Seemed like a perfect fit!

That front end looks very Toyotaish

Go to Youtube and do a quick search for “vanlife” and look for vanlifers that also ride. You’ll see a lot of good packaging solutions that they have come up with. In particular check out “thesingletracksampler” on youtube. 

Nice holier then thou attitude!
