- SCE to AUX Oddly, my 22 Santa Fe has higher HP and torque from its 2.5T/8DCT drivetrain, but it has similar fuel economy (22/28).Must be a different ECU tune for the Elantra N.
- Lou_BC EV weight is a BS argument as long as people buy 1/2 ton and HD pickups for personal use.
- SCE to AUX This sounds like it's related to the service brakes and the automatic braking software sensitivity, not the parking brake.My making it hyper-sensitive to save the children, they imperiled the other children.
- SCE to AUX Too bad they didn't include Level 2.Banning Level 5 may be a mistake, since on paper it must work (unlike Level 2, which doesn't have to work). My concern is that mfr claims about Level 5 will be shattered by reality.
- Kwik_Shift_Pro4X Another Hyunkia'sis?

I had a chance once to sit in a '53 Stude coupe. What I found was that you have to sit with your knees wide apart to make room for the steering wheel. The wheel is way too low. I realize ergonomics wasn't part of the design process back then, but being able to get one's lap under the steering wheel is pretty basic.
+1 on a better selection of colors for modern cars. I understand black and white will always be the biggest sellers, followed by red, silver, and blue. Trouble is, those 'good' old colors don't sell worth a damn. There were recent Thunderbirds from a few years back that had a nice, old light green shade called 'Mint' that dealers had a hard time unloading. And what's with all the shades of grey that have a real bad habit of blending in with asphalt? Man, if there's one dangerous color for a car, especially one that sits low to the ground, that's it (unless someone is specifically looking for a camoflage, stealth color).
