There've been some weird names likes:
The Acura "Vigor"
The Daewoo "Nubria" (sounds like a skin lotion)
and lately,
The Dodge "Crossfire" (would not want to get caught in that).

"The Prius" sounds like a body part.
"The Echo" sonar powered?
The Lexus (ex spouse of Blake Carrington and a vehicle fit for a
Dynasty" ?)
Or maybe a combined model Solara Lexus easy on the lower back?

Light" feature and agree that it improves safety. On previous cars, I
would often turn the headlights on during the daytime. But the problem
is this: when the ignition is turned to "on" and the parking brake
(manual transmission) is released, the lights come on in the "daytime"
mode. The headlights come on, but at a reduced brightness. If it is
dark enough outside, after a delay of about 15 seconds the lights
switch to the "nighttime" mode. The headlights go to full brightness
and the taillights, fog lights (if turned on) and other nighttime
running lights come on.

There certainly is no doubt that DRL's do save lives, but some
people in this group seem to get their panties all in a twist
because they seem to think that safety devices should be under
their own control while knowing full well that a high percentage
of people would forget to use them therefore endangering
themselves and others needlessly.
These types don't impress me with their brilliant wits.

There is absolutely no way to turn off the lights. Reapplying the
parking brake doesn't turn them off and there's no manual switch to
turn them off either. The only way is to shut off the engine. This is
an annoyance if I pull into a driveway, parking lot, etc. and wish to
stop for a short while while waiting for someone. If the weather's bad
I'd want to keep the heat or A/C running, but don't want to leave my
headlights shining into someone's window.

Anyway Patricia, why can't you, when waiting in someone's
driveway and wanting to run your engine but not your DRL's just
shut your engine off, pull your parking brake on, then restart
your engine?...you can now sit there all night running your
engine with your DRL'S off, and they'll stay off till you
release your parking brake. Seems a lot easier and less risky
than futzing around with your car's electrical circuitry and the
safety features.
