>CUVs wouldn't be so popular without being safe and easy to drive. They wouldn't be so popular if every other car on the road didn't tower over conventional sedans. Why would you want a car that rides worse, is heavier, an

Subaru at one point was the most popular automotive brand in Colorado.

I disagree. In my case I want to play some of my legally acquired games in ways that were not possible on the original hardware. High FPS, widescreen support, VR, mods. I also want to play my games in a way that's convenient for me, li

Eh. Consider the sheer volume of vehicles Mazda for example sells globally. Even at a dollar per unit the gap would more than make up for that. Plus, a cellular connection provides direct customer information that Mazda or whoever now no lo

It's not enough of an issue to sway regular people into doing that. It's a, "yeah that's shitty" but not a deal breaker.

They really don't need an LTE modem or data connection. But if it's going to be there _for a finite period of time of course_. Why shouldn't I be able to send a command down off their servers? It's not like they're

I own both a Cherokee and the model Liberty that replaced it. It's dubious whether or not the added height solved that rear door entry. That almost needs an extra long hinge to allow it to open out further, and even then the trim would

> Lastly, customers like the bigger vehicles for the most part. It coincides well with an obesity crisis. I disagree. I think it's a run away effect. People don't feel comfortable in smaller vehicles anymore so they buy bigger

Maybe. But cars were getting larger regardless with safety legislation in the early 2000s anyway. Take a look at the Jeep Cherokee -> Liberty. Rather than invest in higher strength materials they kept pumping up the size of the vehicle u

It just takes time for all this stuff to iron itself out. Consider how long it took for practically every heating and A/C system to become largely the same.

You can still do that to this day. But it seems like now it hooks into edge or presumably the default browser.

It was more than that. If you look at beta builds of Windows 95* they essentially integrate outlook into explorer. Effectively you would have a hierarchy for each layer of internet communication available from the file management. * http:&#

I've always wanted to run a traffic simulation to see how well that type of configuration would work. Because if you look at your car's trip computer the average speed from stop and go traffic tends to hover around half the prevai

We seem to use fairly modern systems out here. They do appear to be programmed in a ripple type green wave progression depending on congestion. You'll hit one or two reds for every five or six intersections. The intersection I have in

Is this why I have to wait at intersections with no incoming traffic for 2 minutes only to have a platoon of cars show up so that they can all stop and I can go
