I'm surprised it was considered a personal attack, but I accept the reprimand regardless.

Because some of us have a pool going as to who goes "Caps Lock" first 😉

No one has made any analogies to Nazi's yet. We've got a ways to go yet.

GM will be going aluminum too soon in order to meet their CAFE standards.
The comments of our mechanic who sets up the first responder and LEO vehicles...
Ford is the best and by far the most roomy cabs. He doesn't like aluminum, though, although they all will be doing it soon. He says the aluminum is not fixable like steel is in case of a collision.
Dodge...very small back seat and obsolete suspension, terrible handling.
GM...junk that falls apart quickly.
My personal experience is that the Ford interiors hold up after 10 years while everything is falling off inside the GM vehicles and the doors settle a lot too.
I did talk to two different CHP mechanics years ago...one said the Crown Vics were the greatest car ever made and the other said they were worthless and almost anything could outrun them because CHP puts 500lbs of steel and radio equipment in them. So mechanic comments can be biased.
My father in law was a CHP officer in the 1960s...his cruiser was the original Chrysler 300. He told me one day he was chasing a Corvette at 125 and he had him when he blew a tire and the Corvette got away. Imagine that 300 tracked straight ahead at 125 with a blown tire.
I have a coworker who has a Chevy 2500 diesel with a bunch of modifications and I had major truck envy until he had to spend $8000 on injectors and other work. After that my little F150 was looking really good.

"Is this a SURVEY site, or a GPS store?"
I think I can answer that.
It is a survey site, and we all use tools, and equipment. When one mfr comes up with something that others don't have, and that feature is important, then it can move one mfr to the top of the table to discuss. However, my posting on this subject is PARTIALLY to SEE if any other MFR has followed suite, and got gear that can compete.
I am a SURVEYOR FIRST.
I believe that within the next 10-20 yrs we will see MANY amazing features.
I simply wish to STAY educated, on WHO is doing WHAT.
I'm interested.
And, I hate a lying salesman.
