    This is SICK

    Or Dope or what ever the new slang is

    “We’re adding rear wheel steering, so it can do tight turns and maneuver with high agility.”

    I wonder If he is going to honor the original prices that were posted?

    Very exciting, my roommate was working on GM's four-wheel steering in the mid-1980's... along with the active suspension that GM bought Lotus just to get their hands on.

    Or Da Bomb.
    4 wheel steering is cool and use to be a thing they put on cars. I think Porsche puts it on their sports cars. But it's a passive system I believe. I think Mitsu use to use passive 4 wheel steering on some of it's cars.

    GM's was active steering... could go almost sideways into a parking spot, was very fast on the test track. The original was fitted to a Fiero which basically had a front-wheel drivetrain in the rear already.

    Denali pickups had it for a while.

    10 degrees of rear wheel turning reduces the turning circle by 5 to 6 feet - per the video.

    Makes parking easier.

    '88 or '89 if I remember right. I test drove one around for a day or two. Crazy, slow speeds the front and rear turn opposite of each other, and high speed they turned the same way. So it stayed pointing in the same direction but crabbed. Strange sensation for sure!

    Early 2000's I think?
    John Deere has 4WS garden tractors, too.

    Yea, and friend of mine had one of those JDs. It was problematic to say the least.

    Well when I was test driving that Prelude, I ended up buying a new '88 Celica All Trac Turbo. I am pretty sure it was '89 as no one wanted to buy a $25K Celica when they could get the Supra for the same money.
