See the good thing about late 70s/early 80s cars that they too were barges but also had lovely little engines with rudimentary pollution controls that robbed them of any power they might have had.

The 454 was basically born out of the need to overcome restrictions via increased cubes.

Granted most of my experience with IR is with decades old military stuff, though probably much more sensitive (and expensive) than anything you could profitably put in a consumer car, but here's my experience: unless there's contrasting temperature between what you want to detect and the surroundings it doesn't work great anymore. Finding mammals in a cool environment is super easy with IR vision, they glow like flames in the dark. Finding them on a warm summer's day is much trickier. Let's hope streets never reach child outer temperature lest kids manage to hide from and thus get run over by machines relying on IR to avoid them.

The Mokka is a hateful, garbage car so having a timing chain issue and having to drop the loving subframe to pull the gearbox to be able to get at the thing is just proof that misery was the main aim with this thing. https://twitter.com/asa_thorp/status/1557688672190976000?s=20&t=lJHpdUehwue8pYwe9aUmFw Same car: https://twitter.com/asa_thorp/status/1557760864463233024?s=20&t=lJHpdUehwue8pYwe9aUmFw

Not to defend Vauxhall, but having the timing chains on the back of the motor is really common on modern engines, this isn't some exclusive Vauxhall issue.

Timing chains aren't meant to be replaced, generally. If you do need to replace a timing chain, most of the time you've got enough problems that you need to pull the engine anyway.

VW went back to belts on their newer 1.4 and 1.5 TSI. They can't come up with a consistent replacement schedule either, it's all over the place depending on brand and market.

I rented a Mokka once and drove it from Malaga to Gibraltar / Algeciras four times in two days by mistake. It doesn't do highway driving well either.
