Of course not. Since the site redesign, nobody can heart—

I totally agree. The luddite purist in me may be all about no-aid manual motoring, but the geek in me *totally* digs the idea of four coordinated combination motor/regen brakes with all kinds of torque vectoring and stability control. Plus, traction control with independent motors doesn't mean applying lossy brakes,…
I attended a presentation several years ago by GM about their "Hy-Wire" (skateboard chassis) concept. The presenter (possibly more of an engineer than marketing guy) was candid enough to say they would never go to production with motors in the wheels because the unsprung mass made it too uncomfortable for a consumer…
Two words: unsprung mass.
G-lader turbo?
DEAR JALOPNIK: YOUR NEW COMMENT SYSTEM IS BROKEN IN PRINCIPLE, THEORY, DESIGN, IMPLEMENTATION, EXECUTION, AND USER EXPERIENCE.
Tesla. But it will be a 4000 pound, tube framed, rear-wheel-drive V8 with a four speed.

What. Could. Possibly. Go. Wrong.
Speaking as a physicist who definitely appreciates theoretical understanding and precise calculation, I want to emphasize the importance of what you've said here.
"This is the switch that makes a 'fizzy' feeling in your loins..."
Please Jezza, save that kind of creativity for your "hilarious ways to rape a famous actress" quips; we all love them SO MUCH. It would be a shame if you wasted your talents trying to get into political punditry.
What do these switches do? Leo Parente will tell you, but no one has been able to listen to the whole thing yet.
The Suzuki SX4 (least expensive AWD sold in America, BTW) started to grow on me once it clicked in my head that it looks like a teeny-tiny Mercedes ML-class.
The first time I saw an E65 7-series, I remember thinking, "There's no way people are gonna buy that. It's too weird."
$1000. Drive it for half a year and you've spent more on gas than you did for the car. This is nearly disposable territory. Who cares if its an automatic; it's a convertible, and you'll find some '80's JDM-Yo ricer racer wannabe to buy it from you in another 6 months.
Oh, so downshifting to utilize negative torque will slow the car, allowing later braking... and yet somehow won't affect your *time* as if you used the brakes?
TOP TIPS: To keep your car clean—even if you're lazy—the solution is to stop being lazy.
Ah, "Blue Tunic." I think I gots it.
I am intrigued. Please tell me more. I can't find anything like that on the Chrome extensions site, or anything by "bluetonic" at all in a google search....
