Lexus’ upcoming L2 system was recently reviewed by Tom Voelk- Driven Car Reviews. Lexus will have a conservative system- surprise surprise.

I thought that too until I got a BMW with Driver’s assist (Level 3)- under 40 in stop and go/slow moving traffic - it literally drives itself- including stop/go. I just have to look ahead. Once I get over 40, it switches back to level 2, so I have to fiddle with the steering wheel every 10 sec or so.

As long as DPD can make bank by ticketing speeders- why would they install speed humps?  Not being cynical, just know that factors into decisions.

20 years ago, I’d probably agree. But today’s average 5 year shelf-life for top CEOs- there is no long game, no building brand equity, no desired slow & steady growth.

What would have been the uproar if the Countach would’ve been a SUV or SXV or SAV or whatever they are calling it now.

MLK did not “die” for equality.

Yeah, there’s no way they could secretly embed small cameras in the front grill, side pillar, at the edge of the roof lining or other spots- run the wiring to a hard drive somewhere in the trunk.

No worries- when the market tanks, they can either:

Congratulations- you work at the 1 unicorn company, rather than the 99% of other companies that offer benefits way less then union shops.

Future losses are always less impactful than current costs. You’ll pay for future losses when/if they happen. You have to show current costs NOW.

With that expected discounted rates- the lease rates for the Bolt will be horrendous.  GM has to see the future where most people will want to lease and hold the prices and fewer discounts.

The problem with the Volt was that it was too small for a family.

Frontier Economy Section- screams High Net Worth Individual.

In our legal system- being drunk gets you a lighter sentence for almost any crime you’ve committed.

Yeah, but if you or I hit this kid and drove away- we’d probably spend the night in jail.

One bad apple.

No late 2000's Jaguar XJ recommendations.  It obviously the most sensible option- most style, most distinct.  All for about 15k.  Leave the 5k for repairs- in the first 3 months.

Warning board- LANES SHIFT AHEAD- boom- your done.

I just drove a NX300 Hybrid- You’ve got the engine of a prius in the weight of a SUV in a $50,000 vehicle.

I just got an offer for $2K over my buyout for my 2021 Lexus GX. I leased it with ZERO out of pocket 4 months ago- got 10% discount off MSRP. I just can’t find anything to buy without the “chip” premium.  So I can’t sell it.
