I’m not an expert in crash standards, but I do know that generally speaking governments, and non-government crash testing places like IIHS, do raise their crash test standards, or come up with new, different tests that expose weaknesses in cars that had previously been given high ratings.

Oh, I see, so you’re one of those.

The Chrysler LX platform is sticking around for a long time kinda like how you want, but generally speaking having a vehicle platform stick around forever like you want isn’t feasible anymore because of the need to keep up with crash, emissions & efficiency standards.

I’m Jewish. My wife’s Catholic. Neither of us is religious but she loves her some Christmas decorations. We have boxes upon boxes of that shit. We got real trees for several years until last year we gave up and got a fake one. Because:

My dad’s job in the 80s included a company car among its perks. He used said perk to lease a glorious 2-tone blue Mk2 Supra, which he followed up with a red Sterling 827 of all things.

Wait, you think STI is in Italy?

I don’t know why they went with the 80s music for what is a 90s retro car. Especially since when I was a kid in the 90s a huge chunk of MTV and especially VH1 programming was 80s retrospectives that talked trash about the 80s and how the 90s were so much cooler.

If your only standard for whether behavior is acceptable is if it’s legal or not, you have an extremely warped view of acceptable behavior.

This SLX is cool, but every person involved in the production of this video must be punched repeatedly.

Subaru did not create a separate manufacturer for the S209. STI already existed as a separate manufacturer. STI’s status as a separate manufacturer is what prevented previous STI-built cars from being certified in the US.

They need to go hang out with RUF owners explaining why their cars aren’t Porsches.

The funny thing about your idea is that Subaru is one of the few manufacturers that still does port-installed options/accessories.

Since this DCT is also soon to be available in the Veloster N, I wonder if the Sonata N-Line will get the eLSD from Veloster N Performance Package. I’m going to guess no since the base Veloster N has an open diff. But it’d be cool.

I had a rental Altima recently and it was a generally good car that felt nice and tight and quiet. But I still didn’t like it, because the driving position was just weird. The seat bottom was very scooped-out so it kinda envelops your ass and thighs, which is ok. But the center console and dash are pretty tall, so if…

Toyota was the one talking about not doing CP/AA due to privacy concerns.

Except most modern BMWs have no suitable spot in their dashboard where you could install an aftermarket receiver.

Until recently, BMW had it set up where you had to first pay for navigation to even have the ability to add CarPlay for another $300 on top of navigation. No navigation, no CarPlay option for you.

BMW when they rolled out the subscription claimed that because they offer wireless CarPlay they needed to more frequently push OTA updates to the infotainment systems to maintain that capability as Apple updated CarPlay on phones, and the subscription was defraying the cost of producing those updates. But...nobody…

1. I was making a joke.

Former Madison, WI resident here. Kwik Trip and PDQ (RIP) are not the same concept as this. Yes, they’re nice gas stations with a good selection of decent food, made and sold by the gas station. But other than being a business that involves both cars and food, I don’t see how that’s similar to chef-y food trucks/carts …
