I really like the rally feature idea, and building on that I could see self-guided car tours, where you stop in front of a building and a voice tells you about the history, etc.

However, I say :redcard:to the AJ idea....a car with a personality doesn't work for me.

Good find Dan!

Nie idea ...the ralley feature seems like it could be fun.

Maybe someone will use AJ to automatically post 1/4mile speeds -lol :)

Yeah, I'm with you on the 'personality' stuff, tho... seems goofy. Maybe in the little Fiesta the teen/young 20s crowd might find it endearing or something -- hate to say it but women, who tend to be more relationship oriented, might find the car to be more 'friendly' or such when imbued with a personality? Remember the new VW (now old -lol). It was intended to cut across gender but wound up being bought almost exclusively by women ...because it's 'cute' (and has a flower-vase holder :giggle: I think the Mini is seeing a similar affinity but since some Minis actually perform I'd bet it cuts across a little better.

I'm partial to personality of the engine, trans and suspension kind.
