If they go all the way and start manufacturing versions w/o A/C, and with hand-cranked windows, then they can build-up a 3 year inventory of unsold vehicles.
In about 1973 I drove a couple of friends somewhere. The one in the back seat announced that he wasnât buckling the seatbelt because they were for candyboys. I told him I wasnât moving the car until he buckled up. After a short while he did and we drove off.
Think positive! At least theyâll have lots of others w/turbos and automatic trans sitting unsold to keep the new NA/manual trans versions company ⊠lolâŠ
Your rear-seat belt story reminds me, on a recent Best of Car Talk the callerâs problem was that he had somehow spilled 5 gallons of maple syrup on the back seat, and it gummed up the seat belts to the point they were completely stuck & impossible to use. So on the positive side, at least you didnât have THAT problem ⊠lol âŠ
