Well, generally, airbags are triggered by G-force sensors that require it to be above a certain threshold and at certain range of angles. https://www.drive.com.au/news/deflated-expectations-20100331-refb/

Like that kid in Texas that killed people with his dad’s truck, or that rapist at Stanford that was a swimmer. This screams of “affluenza”

Nope. This thing screams Toyota creation. Look at the RAV4, Venza, and Lexus UX/NX. 

This is basically an EV RAV4. Subaru only slapped on a badge. Nothing to do with Subaru

Depends on the market. Most people I know have multiple sonos speakers. This targets the pretty large non-luxury home integration market.

Ford dropped 750m recently on top of the original 500m. Ford has four dedicated EV architectures planned for the company fold: GE2, the evolution of the Mach-E’s GE1 platform; TE1 for trucks, coming in 2025; the Rivian platform that will contribute a dedicated Ford vehicle; and a version of Volkswagen’s MEB platform…

Yeah, in cases like this, the DA’s office might be being extra careful on what they file; in order to make sure that these guys get the maximum charges possible.

I mean, when it comes to homologation specials, this has to be One of, if not the most extreme one in recent years

“Both planes will be towed out of the environment for repairs.”

A mercedes designed vehicle based on a Volvo/Geely platform.

So, would a buick envision fit in the “domestic” lot then?

Not just NIMBYism.  Prop13 in California is a shining example too.

My turbo subaru Outback went through 2 turbos + 1 headgasket set in 7 years and 93k miles. The reliability for me came from my Subaru extended warranty.

My wife’s MK6 GTI (Wolfsburg made) had zero problems in 98k miles and 8 years before we sold it.

Yeah, banning this is fine. But i wouldn’t be surprised if this is aimed at black people.  Because, why not also ban rolling co and regular lifted trucks?  Those are just as dangerous. 

I think it’s called a “Rivian”.  Apt given that Ford is a major investor.

I also think pre-pandemic air travel won’t come back because there’s a large swatch of the population around the world that are vaccine hesitant.  As long as more deadly and stronger variants spread and break through vaccines, the longer and more frequent our lockdowns and restrictions will be.   That uncertainty will…

Wait until you hear about roads and how they’re not profitable on their own. We need to privatize roads too!

I mostly agree with you there, with the exception that there was a fighting chance to maintain infrastructure before Reagan when the marginal tax rate wasn’t hacked down.  Though at that time, most of the newly made infrastructure was in the tune of 30-50 years old at most.

I think since then the Chinese government has introduced crash testing to get beyond the embarrassing initial attempts by companies. Besides, I think with foreign expertise, Chinese mfgrs like SAIC and Geely and such are getting 5 stars on Euro NCAPs on their new cars these days.
