And what if someone asks "would they have been better off in the same situation driving a Golf Gti?"
How can this accident have anything to do with a potential flaw in the CGT design? Do they claim that Ben crashed because the CGT had a loose tail?
As far as we have heard, the problem was the sudden entry of another car into the CGT's path.
This sounds like someone exercising their right to milk the system. Not exactly anyone's crusade to force car manufacturers to built safer cars and educate their customers better.
Nick, what is your take on this: The potholes u refer to, are those lawsuits lined up, you mean?
As these cars become more powerful and driven "as they were meant to be driven" courts will be holding manufacturers accountable for placing a "dangerous product" into the stream of commerce. Obviously there will be many defenses to the claim but at some point car companies are going to ask themselves is it worth the exposure to entice drivers to buy cars which is beyond their abilities to drive.
For what possible reason would a manufacturer develop a car for US public roads that can go to 200mph and accelerate from 0-100mph in less than 10 sec.?
