An autonomous car would probably do better than this idiot. I’d imagine the RF from the sensors would reflect off the water and the car would see an obstacle and stop.

Reminds me of this bullshit:

And to think it actually worked other than some exploding bolts...

The news was the best part. Without it we never would have had those wonderful updates on the Dacia Sandero!

That just tells us all you’re a racist.

DOZENS.

I was surprised, last time I rented I got a loaded top trim level Cruze. I’ve never seen anything other than base models at a rental car company. Still don’t understand it. I was taking it on a roadtrip, so the leather/heated seats/keyless ignition was nice.

This was my exact experience during a test drive with the 1.4T. No power, no power, no power, bam 3k-6k RPM in 1.5 seconds, wheelspin, shift, repeat. Getting going from a light without taking forever or having wheelspin was damn near impossible. My fun car is a CTS-V, so I can handle plenty of power and a 6 speed. But…

Yes, and the microwave, which you can get the exact same model at Walmart for $129, costs $10,000 because it has to be validated. Source: family member works for world’s largest private jet company.

Ok captain pedantic. Visually, still the same.

Wow. Had no idea. Why types of breakdowns? Engine? Trans? Electrical?

Wrong body style to compare. See below.

So, Ford has the Focus RS, Honda finally gave us the Civic type R, Toyota has the gt86, Subaru has the WRX and STI, VW has the Golf R, Audi has the S3, S4 etc, BMW has the M series, MB has AMG, Chevy has the SS, Acura has the NSX, and Mazda says “meh, we don’t need to make a performance car”. Riiiiight...

If it was your money, you’d be pissed. Nothing like spending a ton of your money on something, then having it become worthless (or even worse - a liability that is costing you money) almost immediately.

Agreed. All the new products don’t seem to actually bring their average buyer age down, which has got to be something they are trying to do. They made some progress with that via the first gen CTS, but seem to have lost all momentum from that.

Agreed on all points, except I’ll take a 3rd gen CTS-V over the LFA anyday. The LFA would be amazing to drive, but I’d rather live with the CTS-V.

Anal bum cover.

I think they have a 120v option (regular outlet), but I’m pretty sure charging at 120v is slow/takes forever. It would work if you only drive short distances or charge elsewhere too (like at work). But if it’s your only charging point and/or you drive a lot, probably not good.

Not always the case. My apartments are townhouse style with parking in front of each unit. One guy down the street has a leaf and charges it overnight in his spot. Each unit has electrical at the front door.

Was looking for this, left satisfied.
