Shudder to think where the Detroit 3 would be WITHOUT "these incentives"...

But it's long overdue for "Detroit" to bring more products to market that need fewer/le$$ incentives. Scotch taping checks to back bumpers is a "shell game"...

As for CR, it's NOT the first time they've picked on SUVs with driving dynamics tests you'd seldom/ever see on "public roads". I doubt many/any take their GX460s to "Track Day"...and drive them without the "electronic nannies" on.
