- Zerofoo The green arguments for EVs here are interesting...lithium, cobalt and nickel mines are some of the most polluting things on this planet - even more so when they are operated in 3rd world countries.
- JMII Let me know when this a real vehicle, with 3 pedals... and comes in yellow like my '89 Prelude Si. Given Honda's track record over the last two decades I am not getting my hopes up.
- JMII I did them on my C7 because somehow GM managed to build LED markers that fail after only 6 years. These are brighter then OEM despite the smoke tint look.I got them here: https://www.corvettepartsandaccessories.com/products/c7-corvette-oracle-concept-sidemarker-set?variant=1401801736202
- 28-Cars-Later Why RHO? Were Gamma and Epsilon already taken?
- 28-Cars-Later "The VF 8 has struggled to break ground in the increasingly crowded EV market, as spotty reviews have highlighted deficiencies with its tech, ride quality, and driver assistance features. That said, the price isn’t terrible by current EV standards, starting at $47,200 with leases at $429 monthly." In a not so surprising turn of events, VinFast US has already gone bankrupt.

What an attack of the Chicken Littles! Sure, this will shake Toyota's halo a little, but until they've built crap for 30 years they're still not in GMs shoes. I'm no Toyota lover, but I'm sure not putting on my tinfoil hat yet either.
Check out this link: http://abcnews.go.com/images/Blotter/ToyotaAcceleratorPedal20100127.pdf If this letter is genuine then it says the recall only applies to cars made in N America with that CTS pedal. I checked my vin# and it starts with a J- yes! I lucked out, unless they find another reason for the problem other than that part. However this huge recall will probably hurt all of toyota cars' resale values. I will have to drive this baby into the ground- oh well, we keep our cars for 10 yrs anyway. This is the 1st foreign car I have ever bought -figures! I guess next time I will stick with Ford...
