but there is more money to be had in repairs when made like crap

They locked down that paywall pretty easily. 

It’s like 90's Japan where they are obsessed with western culture. Except in China it shows in the weirdest of ways. The old people see it as silly so the younger crowds have to accept it in under the guise as something more traditional.
The craziest part is the government will throw a fit of they start talking or…

Less letters means bigger font!! 

Think that there is the whole of Lexus’s lineup issue. Everything they roll out as a volume seller is about a decade old and facing a 3rd refresh soon. They are the Nissan of the luxury world.

If Lexus dumped the predator face, then we may see more units moving.
N0w that BMW is going to the uglier, we are running slim on decent looking sedans.  Mercedes and Audi are holding out decently however time will tell. 

Because the DOT is more concerned with allowing non-amber indicators and indicators that interrupt the function of a brake light, as well as mandating a manually activated high beam switch over the much more advanced system that they employ in the EU.

The one thing I can say as a boon to this style is that they can lock it to a progressive steering system that means you may never have to move the wheel past 40% or 90% of the rotation. 

IMO they need to just make a standard stalk location and stick the wiper controls and turn signals as a mandated and unified part.  Why make it so hard for some cars to flip high and low beams or do something simple like turn on or adjust the windshield?  

Unless you are a Toyota driver that just slams on their high beams instead of using the normal headlight. 

Toyota could do with trimming a lot of their self-competing models.

I would bring back Scion as their EV only brand.
If they did anything they should bring in a performance brand. The general appliance buying public won’t be startled into slamming into walls and into traffic with a more potent or lighter-weight corolla…

The great GM reformation!!!
Chevy - lower market cars and car base SUV
GM- lower market trucks and truck base SUV
Buick - up market chevy
Cadillac - up market GM
Corvette - top performance brand
-ADD-
Saturn - EV only brand

The “Lot of Shame” car event. 

Corvette is becoming it’s own brand separate from Chevrolet.
It is probably going to become the enthusiast/performance brand. The camaro may become a corvette camaro. The current corvette could become a corvette stingray or something along those lines or they pull a chrysler thing like the ram ram and it would be a…

If they keep the same number of body lines on a crossover from the c8 then it may actually look... passable. If they make it look like an angular crinkled mess with gin-slit windows, and a mile high bet line, then HELL NO!!
It’s probably gonna be an XT4/XT5 platform mate so its gonna be a bit on the heavy side and its…

$10K FOR THE INSPECTOR GADGET CAR? YES!!!

Or any other type of sensors. I imagine the tech is gonna get standardized at some point instead of everyone going wherever to get the job done. A small handful of companies are gonna nail it right and every other company is gonna push to get their hands on that as a customer for their cars. leasing the tech is a LOT…

Because the US actually training drivers over handing licenses to people that can barely spell their name is a different issue.  Much less the fact that any Jenna or John can get in a 29,999 lbs vehicle with no training and that slip of plastic and legally drive it around.  

Now say your car can talk to other lidar sensors around it to function to cover its deficiency.

Wouldn’t a better method be having the ability for cars on the road next to each other share sensor data? Imagine instead of relying on a single car’s sensors you can share data with not only cars in your travel lane but from the oncoming side as well! The data from one car can piggyback across cars in a set distance…
