Valet Mode Data Recorder In 2015 Corvettes Could Bring Legal Trouble For Some

Not too long ago, General Motors brought comfort to many a new 2015 Corvette Stingray owner with a feature that would do for them what teddy-bear cams did for concerned parents, recording audio, video and vehicle data when the key was given to the valet. Alas, the spyware could land the owner in legal hot water in a dozen states, to say the least.

AZFelix Funny referencing cake in your closing paragraph. The last time someone talked to the French people about eating cake, the results were mixed.
Steve Biro At a $27K starting point - often with additional dealer discounts - the Equinox was an attractive option for many on a tighter budget. Especially when the FWD model came with a traditional six-speed automatic.Now, with a starting point of just under $30K (and discounts much smaller and/or less likely for a couple of years) and a CVT, the Equinox is suddenly much less competitive.Add to that the need to pay an extra $2K for AWD just to get a real transmission, and the Equinox isn't very competitive at all. An AWD base version will start at about $32K and an RS or Activ will be $36K and change - quite laughable. And one is still stuck with that 1.5-liter turbo powerplant.If this is what Chevy is demanding for the ICE Equinox, it's no wonder a $30K EV version turned out to be vaporware.
AZFelix I know someone who spent a night in a Dodge Dynasty. The velour interior was the best part of the experience.
MKizzy Looking at the high-nosed Equinox and its assumed huge front blind spots, I see why Mayor Pete wants to mandate improved AEB on all vehicles.In addition, GM's lack of commitment to its ICE powertrains is on full display with its continued use of its class-trailing 1.xT engines. The new Equinox may be all show/no go, but at least after a decade of shoving its 1.5T into the Equinox and Malibu, you'd think GM would've at least made it top flight reliable by now.
