^ reminds me of the crash during the SCCA races at Lime Rock from two years ago. That caused more damage though.

Honda showcases the HR-V Selfie Edition. I am told that this tech will make it to the McLaren Honda so Button and Alonso can tweet selfies mid-race. First time ever that roadcar tech will be moving to a racecar.

Scion badge engineers a Mazda 2 and puts a different wrapper on it calls it the iA. The Mazda 2 is a fun little car I hear, so maybe the Scion too will have sporty handling.



and then this one called the iM (which I thought is like so 10 years ago)


^looks like the Matrix

That is just so wrong. You can't see out the back of most cars so we get rear view cameras. all this does is prepare for when you can't see out the front too. It's bad enough not that seeing in a left hand turn is compromised by the huge pillar. How much longer before you get in your car, watch TV or play video games as the driver? Hope it's not in my lifetime.

^ I'm sure people already play games behind the wheel while they eat, smoke or have a soda. As long as someone is willing to build fun and engaging cars we should be good.
