    Reverse Osmosis is physically forcing water through a semipermeable membrane so as to filter it on a molecular level. Just an FYI.

    BTW, does it have a greywater tank, or just dump out the bottom of the sink onto the ground? If it ran the greywater through the R.O. filter, you wouldn't need that funky suit from Dune.

    Looks like someone spent some time in a slide-out-equipped motorhome/travel trailer, recently.

    I shudder to think about the rattles, groans, and squeaks this thing makes just going on and off the truck which hauls it around from show-to-show.

    Great for tailgating, or those spontaneous "Top Chef"- style stoplight competitions I'm sure we're all so fond of participating in... could that replace street racing? Does Padma Lakshmi come with it?

    Maybe I'm overthinking it, and all they're doing is simply trying to compete with Lamborghini in the "things that can set your car on fire" venue?

    In reply to IIHS Fires Back, Tells Toyota To Put Cars Where Its Mouth Is
    Far be it from me to support Toyota here, but I would not be surprised to see the IIHS demand vehicles be capable of surviving atmospheric reentry. As long as they continue in their myopic focus on building safety barges to reduce medical claims resulting from accidents instead of active safety and enabling good drivers to drive well, they're going to be perfectly irrelevant as far as I'm concerned.

    @Thrashy, perpetual Minardi: I disagree because I see them as providing information--I can use that information or not, but it's out there, and car makers are conscious of it. Look at Kia, for example.
    Reinforced roof? Who wouldn't want that? Ever seen the stats for head injuries in US car rollovers before this became an issue? They collapsed like collapsed like a cheap lawnchair. It was shocking.
    And of course there are many car makers out there who are getting "satisfactory" or even "unsatisfactory" ratings because they are not making changes. IIHS is not the law. But if a car has hidden defects that might kill me, yeah, I'd at least like to have that information. And the other side of the "lowered medical costs" is a) you being alive and not dead and b) lower insurance rates if you're in a safer model.
    Still seems to be tons of free choice there to me, for both buyers and makers.

    @Novaload: Ironically, the increased weight up top to reinforce the roof makes a car more prone to rollover.

    @dolo54 blows minds and blows engines!: I believe that it is driving like a jackass and overcorrecting is what causes most rollovers. Rollovers don't happen because a car doesn't have stability control or because of a high CG, rollovers happen because people are not prepared to successfully pull off emergency maneuvers and they are unfamiliar with the performance of their own vehicles.

    @Captain America: Actually, that was Ford's argument in the notorious Pinto case--cheaper to pay off the occasional death settlement than replace the Pinto parts. That, of course, proved to be a miscalculation. The same thing was starting to happen with SUV rollovers, in terms of law suits. Suddenly, stronger roofs seem like a good idea! And money well spent!

    Volvo says, put up or shut up. From a 1971 ad. The Headline was "Are you in the market for a hardtop?"

    @Novaload: That photo was taken at the abandoned Brookley Air Force Base in Mobile, Alabama in the early 70's. I lived there and watched them stack the cars. There were wooden platforms between the cars to steady them. After the photo session wrapped, the crane operator knocked the stack over. BIG FUN! The next morning several of the cars came up missing - some of the neighborhood hooligans rolled them back on their wheels and 'liberated' them. The local fuzz found the cars and the ad agency refused to press charges. The cars were water damaged during shipping - they found one more use for them before the cars were crushed. Thanks for the memories!

    @Novaload: and guess what: the Volvo 240 sedan and wagon had incredible 360 degree visibility. It is obviously possible to build a safe roof without fat A pillars, fatter still C pillars (D in wagons/crossovers), and gun slit side windows. So why don't we?

    I have had a sneaking suspicion that the mighty Toyota, market monster for so long but never with the "perfect" halo Honda has had, has been up to who knows what.
    If I recall, the Euro car makers were laughing at US roof strength a couple of decades ago.
