Every car you could buy in the past 20 (probably 30) years had a computer system, because you can't meet emissions regulations without fuel injection.
In Europe, the Dacia Sandero base model is a car that literally only comes with what's needed to drive or mandated by law.
The previous generation was still available with wind-up windows, no power steering and no radio.

I don't know about any offerings in the US market.

For that, they'd have to develop an entirely new engine, which they then couldn't sell in Europe, America, Australia or most of Asia due to emissions regulations. So maybe they're doing it, but it will be a one-off prestige project at the end of the internal combustion engine age, and all of them will be put in museums or private collections.

Thank you daddy Microsoft for still letting me click "no" on your invasive popup ad with a dark pattern to make me change my system settings.

Because most sites have Google trackers installed.

Wer oder was ist ein VA?

(Ich weiß es ist der Vermittlungsausschuss, aber man kann auch in diesem Kontext nicht erwarten, dass die Abkürzung geläufig ist, und sie wird nirgends auf der Seite erklärt.)

Search engine optimizers.
If you spend more time on a site, it looks higher value, so they do everything to increase the time you need to find the info you came for.

If the logo was a cornucopia in the past, there would be images of old clothing with that logo on the internet. There are only 2 photos on the internet showing a cornucopia logo on T-shirts (a black shirt and a white one). Both show the logo printed directly on the cloth. But back in the 90s that wasn't a thing. FotL T-shirts had the label sewn in, not printed on. And both photos are of really low quality and monochrome, so you can't see that the logo was modified with a pen. Also, the logo looks different between those 2 photos.

Ich weiß nicht ob es global eine Verbesserung ist wenn mexikanische Kartelle Zugriff auf Marschflugkörper bekommen mit denen sie LA und Houston treffen könnten.

If you read more than the headline, you'd know that you can simply purchase those options instead of subscribing, if you want.
Which makes the entire article pointless. But you'd need to read more than the headline to see that, which is too much to ask.
