Very informative. I figured automakers use older, more mission-critical stuff, but didn’t think about the production issues this would cause for the chipmakers.

I still think the same thing I thought then: the rear extends too far and is just a large block, which doesn’t go with any of the lines except for the shoulder and accent line and adds too much visual weight in the rear. Maybe a boattail would have been a better visual compromise with a little more storage, though not…

I’m sure there’s an aero advantage to the sloped rear, but it’s not like there isn’t a fairly significant wake drag either way. Like you’re arguing, it’s a utility vehicle compromised in about every other way, so finish the damn thing correctly!

Why tease something that’s so bland in design and function? I’m not a fan of marketing teases in the first place, but at least I can understand if it’s something that stirs excitement and is highly anticipated. This is like if Braun had a long drawn out tease for a new coffee maker that looks like pretty much all the…

The rest were just smart enough to realize their skills and knowledge would earn them a lot less than the solid 6-figures they get along with loss of job security, less vacation, no pension, more expensive health care, they’d have to work a lot harder, and be expected to continually improve at any other job while…

Except for the weird styling extension pointing back, they did what I predicted they’d do with the side intake (fix it the way it should have been, but it’s an easy—if obvious—way to make the more expensive one more desirable and identifiable). Wheels and rear spoiler are nicer, as well, and I’d like to see it with…

I was a highly aggressive asshole teenager with PTSD and I never would have done this shit. Since there won’t be any legal repercussions, I hope the family is sued into homelessness they can never climb out of.

Although, I am not a pacifist, I wish I could star this several times. When anyone disregards other lives so callously, they should lose all rights of their own for 20 minutes chained to a chair where surviving victims or decedent’s families can do whatever they want to them—want to yell, fine, want to skin them…

IME, a road bike is especially attractive to these kinds of tiny dick fuck nuts as aggressive incidents against me are far less on my custom upright bikes, with the comical ACME rocket bike receiving none at all vs the road bike, even wearing regular clothes. Nevertheless, carelessness from the oblivious is common…

Base interior vs XLT (I prefer the colors of the XLT better, but is the quality also a noticeable step up?) and mileage of 2.0T with AWD.

Traceability is what you want for laundering as that’s what makes it clean. These are individual non-products of made up value that can be essentially anything someone says it is, so The Man has no stand on saying something went for too much money. It’s why real art works, too, but this nonsense is better as it’s so…

The last time I can remember seeing a tow truck that wasn’t a flatbed with the exception of the huge wreckers that tow tractor trailers, was about 17 years ago when I had to have a wheel-less junk car pulled out at a weird angle from behind a building and the flatbed couldn’t get to it. The guy went back to get the…

Family friends who used to have a MB dealership used to try to talk customers out of the leather for MB Tex. He had me guess which new car had which and I couldn’t tell. Then he showed me two older cars in the shop and it was obvious as the MBT looked new and the leather looked like shit and that car didn’t seem to be…

They don’t kill the sheep for wool, though if you mean emissions, yes, all ruminants produce them, but I can’t imagine sheep are as bad as cows and they aren’t fed inappropriate garbage that makes their emissions even worse like US cows are.

Yes! This stuff is fragile, shitty trash. Vinyl does the same job cheaper, arguably better environmentally, lasts much longer, and can come in any kind of colors or combinations (even though they’ll still only offer cars in black). The difference between MB Tex and leather can only be noticed when, after 20 years, the…

Is that a pic of a real car? It looks more like the pic of a $5 1:18 scale model.

My Legacy never rattled, but they did have wind noise. The fix was to stick a 1/4-3/8” piece of tubing between the folds of the leading edge of the weatherstripping and that made it … well, not so much worse than its competitors. I do wonder if that’s part of the change, though—meeting higher standards of NVH than…

That was my initial reaction, but I thought it might be an illusion owing to the greater visual weight of the upper part with the arrow, so I used a ruler on my screen and found that it is centered. That’s not an excuse, though, as any designer should be aware of the phenomenon and that sometimes things have to be…
