Ok, that makes sense. I just bought a 1997 car and had it rebuilt, about 30% of the price of a new one and none of the crap, roughly just as safe as the current ones and much less likely to be stolen. Not the most economical decision because of course it is still a 1997 car but it will hold its value well enough that I'm not worried about it and I'm not really planning on selling it anyway. But if I ever do crash it then I'll probably lose a bunch of money because the present day value is less than what I put into it. Otoh just the write-off on a new one would have been roughly the total invested.
It's very frustrating how tech can be mis-applied. But I also see the regulators point of applied statistics and that even if these systems cause the occasional crash they prevent a much larger number from ever happening.
The crosstrek the only orange one available had eyesight.
The atlas was used so there was only 1 option locally
The impreza its standard on anything over base, and the base was missing other things i wanted.
