IMHO, Luck don't have much to do with it. The auto press has been kissing thier "****" for a long time. To me, that's not luck!

 

A little off topic, a bit but anyway. Z28wilson- As far as your dash, I fixed it on my buddies blazer it took about 2 minutes once you get the dash out. Do a search on ebay for the fix for the dash. Its a couple resistors w/instructions, tells you exactly which ones to replace. Its really not that hard at all. He would ride around, and beat the crap out of the dash it would flicker. I couldn't take it anymore, so I fixed it for him. Check it out. If you can't find it let me know, I'll see if I can find out who exactly he got it from, it was maybe $20 if that. P.S GM are such followers ain't they!

 

I know. "luck" wasn't the correct word i had in mind. But we're on the same page in that the European automakers get past things American automakers would have recieved major scrutiny for. It's not just the press, it's the buying public too.

 

True...it is the buying public, many of which have been reading those articles. Its MO that after yrs. of digs thrown in here, and there about GM's crap eventually it starts to sink in. If one doesn't...say bleed Chevy Orange (like Me) this would be especially true. Someone without a preference would begin to believe this stuff, and hence, we get GM scared to put Anything risky out. The ban on racing, nader's book, all these things( and I'm sure I'm skipping over other stuff too), combined seemed to lead to a very conservative GM. This is why they let the others test the waters 1st. They are not treated equally when there's a problem.( remember the trucks rigged to explode movie style) nbc Bastards! Hopefully the tides are turning. My loyalty has been for thier awesome powertrains, interchageability, etc. I won't deny there was a bad time. IMHO though, that time has long passed, only problem is someone...AHEM, forgot to tell the general population. That chore rests on GM's shoulders now. I'll help if I can. When I see post like this it just reminds ME, GM are the Innovators in this business and that is why they are the #1 Automaker...IMO of course!

 

I knew about the 3000GT's having it, just was limiting to the 80's

 

I believe the new M45 by Infiniti has RWS. Using technology pioneered by the 300ZX.

 

Yeah.. it's pretty subtle though. It just angles the rear wheels very slightly via computer control in emergency maneuvers as well as tight parking lot maneuvers.

 

I dont understand why some of you are so bitter that BMW is adding this feature. If GM had it then discontinued it, its purely their fault. one more reason to buy a bmw for me. and maybe more manafactures can start adding things like this to push cars into the future.
