I can't decide which is cooler, the Spyder or that flat black one.

0 · Like LOLThis is 2.5 million in the US, and is a voluntary recall.
"The driver’s side PWMS may experience a “notchy” or sticky feel during operation. If commercially available lubricants are applied to the switch in an attempt to address the “notchy” or sticky feel, melting of the switch assembly or smoke could occur and lead to a fire under some circumstances.
The “notchy” or sticky feel may be caused by an uneven application of the grease during the switch assembly process at the supplier. If the grease is not applied evenly, frequent use of the switch and normal operation may cause the grease to become carbonized and may eventually result in the deterioration of its lubricating properties."
Not a real big deal, and a supplier assembly error.

A somewhat similar Honda issue was caused by water leaking onto the window switch.

My Nissan master power window switch, made by ALPS, carboned up on me and I had to mechanically clean it a few years back. Didn't think about it being a possible fire hazard.

0 · Like LOLToo much going on with the colors. Either do the CF roof or the red wheels, both are a bit much. And why a painted black hood?
More power and aero upgrades, wonder how it'll do on the track?

0 · Like LOLThey let Jeep slide for the exact same issue. Re-tuned stability control fixed both.
They also panned the new Prius c. So much so that autoblog felt the need to defend Toyota. It's in CR's top 5 cars to avoid list:
http://news.consumerreports.org/cars/2012/08/five-popular-cars-to-avoid.html
Cars.com punched back:

They were also hyper critical of the new Yaris and the Scion iQ.
