I drive a compact, and EVERY. SINGLE. CAR. I pass has those light shining right trough my windshield every hour of every day. If you are on a foggy curvy road in the wee hours of the morning, DRLs may help, or you could think “hey, it’s low visibility. Maybe I should turn my lights on like a responsible person” but no, we get DRLs instead. I admit, Finland has seen a reduction in crashes since DRLs, but the majority of countries with them now have see no appreciable improvement. The only are useful in relatively specific situations.
Fcuuuk, an interesting round, and I even have one good idea for entry already, but I can’t use stable due to its performance… 
Yes, it would be a (mini)van entry.
I think the worst thing with the modern lighting is illuminated dashbord. By night if you don’t turn on the lights you can see your dashboard so you may go your lights turned off. I can see that all day long… Sometimes DRL are used instead of the tail lights, that’s dangerous!

That disturbs me when I hear statistics about less crashes because of DRLs, or how LEDs are a tenth of a second faster than incandescent bulbs lighting up for brake lights. When things like that make a difference, that tells me idiots aren’t driving the way they should. That fraction of a second for brake lights shouldn’t make any difference if you’re following at the proper distance. (which people clearly don’t) I just fear that all this new technology does is to allow people to grow complacent with bad driving. Case and point with the above post about not bothering with tail lights because people assume with the DRLs, that’s all they need.

A more comfort-focused version of the SR. Includes a quieter exhaust, softer suspension, more safety features and softer suspension, all while keeping the 4.0L twin-turbo V8 under the hood. Did I mention that it also has softer suspension?

This machine is powered by a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V8, producing 350HP at 6100 RPM, with power transmitted to all 4 wheels via SWF’s state-of-the-art 6 speed “Dualmatic” DCT gearbox, allowing for a top speed of 170MPH, with a 0-62 time of 5.82 seconds.
The best part of all of this? It will still achieve 36.4 MPG (UK), has all the accessories of the highest end competing models, is spacious & practical enough to serve as a family car, and is unfazed even when offroad; thus truly living up to its designation: Turbo Luxury Sport.
SWF: Pure Driving Elegance.

2014 Kaizen SCE48 tra AWD
Designed for the unexpected
Life’s unexpected challenges can be overwhelming, but the Kaizen SCE48 tra gives you the versatility to take them on. A specialized aluminum semi-space frame and aluminum panels bestow it with assuring rigidity while minimizing weight. Standard electronic aids such as electronic stability control, electronic brakeforce distribution, torque vectoring, and 4 wheel disc brakes with ABS work in sync with double wishbone front suspension work and multilink rear suspension to keep the driver in control. The assertive styling is backed up by a punchy 480 hp 5.0L twin-turbo V8 engine coupled with a lightning quick 7 speed DCT, a viscous limited slip differential, and standard all-wheel drive that gets up to an EPA estimated 29.7 combined miles per gallon (US) while empowering the driver in any condition, hammering the SCE48 tra to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds towards a 181 mph top speed. It’s generous 8.7 inches of ground clearance combined with hill start and descent assists enable drivers to reach the goals they want to finish. The thoughtfully designed interior is meticulously crafted to offer a sophisticated blend of utility, safety, and comfort. Standard features include heated and cooled 10 way power adjustable driver and passenger leather seats with massaging functions, navigation system with Bluetooth connectivity, Bose Centerpoint Surround Sound System, multi-zone automatic climate control, blind spot monitoring, rear view camera with cross-traffic alert, and 157.86 cubic feet of passenger volume and 28.6 cubic feet of cargo space with the foldable rear seats up. A forward active braking system with adaptive cruise control and lane-departure warning (no extra cost) and an electronic limited slip differential are available. To prepare for the unexpected, one must be exceptional. In an era of rising expectations, our Spirit of Continuous Improvement thrives, bringing a whole new meaning to the phrase “expect the unexpected”.

Go ahead, try and ignore it.
There’s only one original.
Understated, respectable, reliable, environmentally conscious, You have absolutely none of these qualities, so it’s important to you that your car doesn’t either. You want a performance car for every day, but none of the sports sedans on offer will make you look like enough of a rich douchebag? Well, we’ve got the car for you. Part racer, part off-roader, all asshole with a large dollop of suspension. This is an SUV that says, ‘I’m a man with money but no taste’. A car that says, ‘I’m not afraid to transfer $85,000 over an insecure internet connection to an unknown entity’. A car that says, ‘You never accepted me, Dad, but look at me now’." This is the one, the only, Shromet Levine.
