This.

1. Priuses will come with a new adaptive cruise control system which works off the distance to the car behind (short) and works only in the left lane.

Waiting for this to come true.

I'm going to go ahead and ape a number of other comments presented below and above by asking, "What happened to Jalopnik?"

Be a more predictable driver, starting with this:

Because with a torque converter the rev rate of the engine is not proportionate with the rev rate of the tires, like it is with a manual gearbox in any particular gear. The fact that you're asking me this means you must not spend a lot of time driving cars with slushies, lucky you!

I don't blame Pirelli at all for the tire issues. The entire tire issue is 100% the FIA's fault for giving lousy specs. Pirelli did a wonderful job to building the tires to spec though.

No. That would be journalism. Keep moving - nothing to see here.

"GM has also added hidden storage compartments including (thieves, scroll down very fast) one behind the infotainment screen. Third-row seats will now be bolted down, as apparently they're a hot commodity. They do however fold flat for transporting cargo."

Because going fast in a slow car is more fun than going slow in a fast car. Gran Turismo is a great game to race shitboxes in.

How about a compact or mid-size truck designed in the last decade?

Modern cars that have zero outward visibility.

My grievance: being greyed out in the comment section after doing nothing but contributing to the commenting community!!

You're right. At this point anything you make from this segment would be purely subjective, unless you're insane and pick the Chrysler 200, then you should check yourself into a mental hospital.

Steelies rule. Chintzy hubcaps suck.

I would imagine for a 'vanity' car that this has to be on the list, right?

Anything Coloni. I'd love to have several of his vehicles.
