I’m also surprised the system doesn’t fail open, rather than closed.

Also...why wouldn’t you keep that manual with the car?!

It boggles my mind that there are people who buy cars with electrical release mechanisms for the doors, and don’t IMMEDIATELY do research to locate the mechanical fail-safe, which even the dumbest of common sense would tell you existed SOMEWHERE.

It boggles my mind even more that people refuse to read the manual for…

This isn’t a yacht... it’s a tender. More specifically it’s the reliable tender you keep in reserve for when your Maserati tender breaks down.

Because luxury wasn’t implied strongly enough by the word “yacht.”

The help chooses the tender to drive between the yacht's moorage and the dock in Saint Tropez. Fancy Kristen would not waste her time on a glorified dinghy.

Really ties the room together.

Exactly. The north american market fucking loves wagons and minivans, as evidenced by the millions of tall wagons (2 row unibody) and minivans (3 row unibody) they sell here every year.

- The 86 isn’t selling well for two reasons, 1) dealers don’t know how to sell them - they’d rather sell you a Camry than an 86 - why, I don’t know & 2) People have been begging for more power since they were introduced and Toyota refuses - again, why? Maybe 200 HP is enough but at the end of the day if adding 50 HP…

There’s a market. It isn’t huge, but it is currently underserved.

There was no market for a bland-ish 50K Chevy sedan. GM had to sell a certain amount of them in NA because of some contractual reasons.

Yeah, this pretty much. Buick’s Tourx wagon was met with highfives, fistbumps and hallelujahs by all jalops here, finally we get a wagon. Those same jalops subsequently went out and probably bought a CR-V or clapped out crown vic instead.

Americans never bought small wagons.

accountants are sooooo boring.
