As in the bit on the middle-top of the glass? Do you think that's for lane warning-type stuff?

Could also be for rain sensing wiper system
You find all the good stuff. Come on Ineos make the initial launch here in US with Pricing on May17?
Well the tech requirements that are mandatory plus maybe some that aren't...
Does that actually beat the system? If so, I'd imagine it would have been taken advantage by now by other manufacturers. Ford got busted for the van thing and I'd imagine there have been others caught with their hands on the cookie jar.
Well I dug deeper and the loop hole was closed in 1980's. Japan was doing this but finally congress shut it down. Then Subaru created the Brat by sticking passenger seats in the bed. That was shut down mid 80s. I did learn that trucks coming through Mexico or Canada have no chicken tax. Plus I learned that Magna has more than 130 manufacturing facilities and over 73,000 employees throughout Canada, Mexico, and the United States,. What's not to say Ineos has it finished in Canada or Mexico and brought over the boarder.
It would be great to see over here. But is there really a viable market?
I don't see it - too much competition at friendlier prices.
I think it would be a special order, not something dealers would have on the lot. But most cars are moving to the custom order. It's cost-effective for everyone and the dealer does not have to sell at a discount to clear lots. I know my family 20 years ago went that way with bicycles. We had bikes in the shop for sizing but everything was ordered and it was available to pick up a week later. No one cared because we were able to give it at a lower cost plus we never had to clean out dead assets.
Agreed. I can see having a few on hand, but the days of having acres of inventory in stock are over.
If the market we are comparing to is the Tacoma and Colorado, likely not. It will ultimately come down to price. I can see that truck selling so well in Tahoe, Jackson, Dallas... where people with big money are that also crave an adventurous or outdoorsy look (while almost certainly being pavement princesses). It will have appeal due to its authentic, rugged nature, but cost will determine the qty sold, IF it is available IMO.
