It won't come with air conditioning, FM, HD radio, bluetooth, CD changer, MP3 capability, Navigation, heated seats, or keyless entry.
The speedo will be limited to 45mph and the car will be 20 feet long and the body panels will be 12" thick filled with the latest in bumper-car technology. It'll come in 3 colors, brownish yellow, yellowish green, and bare metal.
oh yeah, I went there.  |
I represent--resent these remarks. I dont think any one is saying things like radio, nav, etc are terrible in touch format. Starter, gear shift ARE. It's a basic safety thing. Some say radios. I have to agree. Nothing more fraustrating than the time my SRX touch screen went down into the dash in full map mode and would not come back up without stopping and 'rebooting' (power off/on) the car. I canot imagine not being able to do anything when the screen fails or misbehaves. If you have the seat heaters on full, shich is very hot in some cars and cannot turn them off, you would cook going to your destination. If it is just nav or bluetooth, then fine. I can live with those failing while I am driving, but a full blast radio that I cannot ruen down, or not being able to switch into or out of gear. NOT FOR ME.
