Default A car with DSG AND Microsoft

It's like hammering a large ugly piece of plutonium flat, with another large, ugly piece of plutonium:

Quite an amusing review

All cars are getting ever more complicated - buyers want 'stuff', not quality sadly.

Blame the focus groups, 'average' buyers tell car companies they want lots of technology, companies shoehorn it in.

That shut the useless twat TFU!

Honestly; it's like The Darwin awards; "a fatal exception error has occurred sy330002303003.exe and Microsoft EPS is shutting down."

The irony of Mark's comment about Focus groups made me laugh.

It's true though - we need rid of this pestilence and let engineers tell us how cars ought to be; there is a rumour that the engineers ganged up on Takonobu Ito and presented the new NSX as something of fait accompli so he couldn't turn it down.

Line the marketeers up for the first spaceship to the new planet.
