One bit of electronics I do like the sound of though is collision prevention radar which applies the brakes if you come up too fast behind another car but I think the technology only is available for city speeds to stop bumper to bumper crashes. I think it is available in Lexus and Volvos. Would many drivers be able to afford such technology as it will take many years before the masses who buy used cars can afford it.

ive got a better idea.
PAY FUCKING ATTENTION.
I think a 3 foot stainless steel spike should replace the drivers airbag, for crashes that happen under 140km/h.

Sexy Road Test.


Future cars will be full of electronics - governments will insist on it. Anti-skid brakes are a good example.

Merc, Chrysler, Jeep and a couple of others. Not too expensive really

A BMW m5 is a sports sedan. A Clubman R8 is a sports sedan. A falcon fpv is a sports sedan. A Merc 6.3 AMG is a sports sedan. A lexus is 450F Sport is a sports sedan. A Kizashi is not........but your happy and thats the main thing....

LOL. A couple of years ago, I was looking at buying my first car in 10 years, so I checked out the Kizashi, as I'd read such good things about it. Drove it about 100m or so up the road, and said to my missus, "What do I do?!? I really don't like this!" Went a km or so down the road, sat in a car park for a few minutes, then drove back to the yard. The salesman bounces up, all excited and enthusiastic, "So - what did you think?!?"
"Um.... I don't like it."
He was pretty much gob-smacked, but eventually stuttered, "S-s-o, what don't you like about it?"
"The engine, the transmission, the seats, the interior, the handling...."
The keyless entry was OK, but everything else felt WRONG after driving European cars.

Exactly and I don't care what anyone says, a CVT is not an enjoyable transmission.
Must admit that Suzuki do have a creative marketing department though

Meh. When I am buying a car the key criteria, in order, are: stereo. heater/a/c. price. perceived value. So I drive a 2l automatic toaster oven. But it bluetooths my phone, and I can play music off the built in USB slot.

Cars are appliances which you buy with your head and wallet. bikes? not so much.

Me?

Style, class and grunt with a bit of handling thrown it. (but not essential).

You can shove all those fancy electronic gizmos and 'driving aids' up your arse as far as I'm concerned!

I bet you would not like a stainless steel spike going through you if you were the innocent party in a head on collision though?

Nope, and that's the point (see what I did there?). You drive careful so no retard makes you an innocent victim, the same way motorcyclists do

The real idea of spike is that the driver is then in touch with the fact that there action have consequences instead of believing they are traveling in a mobile coffee lounge. And it isn't an Akzle original, it came from a British road safety professor.

no. I want it through your head.
Which is why my car doesnt have any of that gay shit and is made of plate steel rather than leftovers from fisher and paykel.

In an effort to show that there are still decent car ads, I submit for the consideration of the jury.
