Isn't this system meant for parallel parking only, so for cases when the parking space is parallel with the car and not perpendicular to it?

The car only has sensors in front and behind, not on its doors!

Doesn't matter whether the technology came out last week or last century. It's not the age that's the problem, it's the very concept in itself.

There's some truth in that - if I was a luxury car driver, I wouldn't see a parking feature being in my "must-have" list.

Autospies is full of fanboys, not entusiasts. An enthusiast to me is someone who respects other brands. A fanboy is someone who posts on Autospies and always promotes his brands while bashing others.

Autospies = fanboy heaven. Funny to read those posts to. Some of the Lexus fanboys are hilarious. Sadly, there are tons of German fanboys on that site as well.

You bet. We have something called maturity and respect on these boards.

Those two ideals are non-existant on Autospies.
