You’re offended by pizza?

Yet we’re left with “Buick”, alas.

Not all of us want vehicles that are bigger and bigger ...

If OSHA is like many regulators (IRS, INS, etc.) they are tasked with enforcing rules that are complex & unpopular with those being regulated. Any law can be neutered by underfunding, and many pieces of well-intentioned legislation have be rendered ineffective by compromises made to get them passed. And it’s much

I'm pretty sure the USA has NOT signed the "Ottawa Treaty" ... not relevant to this particular story, but a messy little fact about our country's relative moral standing.

Could have been a LOT worse. I'm disappointed that Mazda didn't let it retain a more unique design language, distinct from the Mazda bread & butter range. I think the slitty headlights are trying to look bad-ass. The Miata/MX-5 has always been about balance, not bad-ass.

I'd prefer a Honda S600. Much rarer. 😎

WTH! It's a RENTAL ...

amber. And some separation at the front, too. A small indicator light next to a large headlight is frequently almost invisible. And as a former model builder, clear lens just look like they the builder was too lazy to finish the build properly. 😎

My wife only has to use faxes for insurance companies ...

Well, at least the bike have suspensions. But my brain can hardly keep up with WATCHING the videos, much less betting my life on the turns.

Not that I really care, but I think the best way to freshen up Buick's image old be to change their name to Pontiac.

Good points, all. I don't know the details (of course) but there may well have been some 'dereliction of duty' on the part of highway crews or emergencies responders. Or, he might just be extra lucky that they got to him in time. Some bad outcomes can't be blamed on ANYONE.

I still haven't figured out why Buick was the nameplate that GM chose to save ...

I would think that if unions are such a "ripoff", the Koch's wouldn't bother spending millions of dollars to beat them. Of course, millions of dollars doesn't mean much to multi-billionaires ...

Artful "exploitation" is still exploitation, IMHO.

"Better" design, though assuredly not as marketable. I wish SOMEBODY made this vehicle.

For the sake of argument, not everyone can (still) walk, balance, or pedal. This looks like an interesting alternative to current 'mobility' vehicles ... but not revolutionary. I loved spending a couple hours riding a Segway, but my feet felt like I'm been standing around on a concrete floor when the wide was over.

Did anyone ASK for a larger MINI?

Austin, TX data doesn't match up with 45-degree latitude data, but that's the point of the story. We should TEST rather than ASSUME.
