Observation. I don't have any positive or negative feelings for either car, so the observation should be pretty unbiased.
The dangers of DRLs 4635C.H. Hmm, most of the Sebring owners I know are young, just-out-of-college people who picked them up cheap and used. But of course...
You mean 'forcing' not 'enforcing'. And I still don't see how they can force anything on you. Did the salesman force you at gunpoint to sign on the dotted line? Every company has the right to equip their cars the way they deem useful for them, just as you have the right not to buy a car that is not equipped the way you want it to be.
Weird, the sales numbers for GM don't seem so bad right now. Quality is up according to a whole number of sources, and the lineup that is coming out now (looks quite appealing to me. And as you yourself stated so loudly, people don't dislike cars just because they dislike a feature.
GM's past problems stem from the cars being designed by bean counters, not car enthusiasts. And this seems to be about to change.
Lack of research.
In other words, you didn't test drive the car or were so inattentive during the test drive that you didn't see that the light switch has no off position.
You had a very good reason to do your homework. If you don't it's your fault and yours alone.
The dangers of DRLs 4639C.H. Depends on the car. In some vehicles, I'm CERTAIN that I could "beat" the ABS. A good car should have a base brake system arranged so that under...
If you really didn't know a feature you feel strongly about, you are at fault.
Webster: "having a self-acting or self-regulating mechanism". They do. Thus the lights are automatic. Btw, I want to see your "Eebster" definition...
And I have a problem with people, who are too lazy or too stupid to research a car properly before buying it and afterwards howling and whining that it doesn't do exactly what they want.
ROTFL! Nice of you to finally admit that you 1)bought a car without any research worth mentioning, 2) hate GM (because you took a hit when you ditched the car you bought without proper research) and 3) are on a crusade because you are peeed about yourself and need someone else to blame.
GM is not at fault here. The cars work as advertised and there is any number of sources telling you exactly what the car does and doesn't do. You are alone to blame for lack of research and buying a car without even properly test driving it.
On the contrary. I was right about you all along.
Yes, an option for quite some money. Oh my, did you really think they left ABS out because it is dangerous? They left it out because it costs money. And if a customer still wants it, they have to pay, which increases revenue.
The dangers of DRLs 4637C.H. You say modern features, I say unnecessary complexity. I'd rather spend my $$$ on a car that had good basic systems without electronic band-aids covering up its shortcomings. That doesn't negate the fact that...
Ferrari has ABS stock on all models. Porsche has ABS stock on all models. Ferrari even fitted it on their formula one racers until it got outlawed. Mercedes, BMW, all mitsize to luxury cars from Japan and the US. Everyone has ABS except for a bunch of cheapo base models for clueless penny pinchers.
Btw, I am still waiting for your explanation, how you induce a controlled skid on your FWD box without ABS.
No, they just have *not chosen* to have DRLs, mostly because many people are indifferent about the subject and just don't check boxes they don't understand.
No, that's merely a huge customer base that doesn't care one way or another.
For safety. bane accidents down 5-20%
... which is fun to drive cars. No one cares about DRLs except for a few 'back to the 50s' crusaders.
Yesterday you were howling about the GTO not being as cheap as the Vette, today they are giving them away. You are really an amusing in-duh-viduum, James.
