    Lamborghini’s Newest Trademark is Simply Terrifying

    G. Noble

    Editor/Reporter - CheersandGears.com

    April 9th, 2012

    Ann Arbor, Michigan’s monthly automotive publication, Car and Driver, recently broke news that Lamborghini has filed a few documents to secure the rights to the name “Deimos”. Lamborghini has had a track record of not wasting the names it trademarks, so this has led to speculation over what will wear the name.

    The god Deimos, in ancient Greek mythology, was the personification of terror and dread. Given Lamborghini’s infatuation with, well, rather evil-looking styling these days, I think the name of an ancient god known to scare the living hell out of people is rather fitting. However, it is rather interesting to note that the name Deimos has no connection to Lamborghini’s tradition of naming their cars after things that have to do with bulls or bullfighting whatsoever.

    It’s widely known that Lambo is planning an SUV concept for the upcoming Beijing Auto Show and that the replacement for the aging Gallardo supercar is just around the corner. Both vehicles need a name, so it isn’t at all out of the question to see the Deimos moniker on either one of them.

      PADM Faults Don’t Always Mean the Engine Mount Has Failed

      By UIkbink · Posted

      Many Porsche owners assume the active engine mount has failed as soon as they see a PADM Disabled warning. However, after disassembling multiple OEM PADM sensors, we found that most failures are actually caused by the internal sensor chip becoming loose or detached. The OEM design relies heavily on adhesive to secure the chip. After years of engine heat and vibration, the adhesive gradually weakens, eventually causing sensor failure and fault codes. The issue is that Porsche’s official repair solution only involves replacing the complete active mount assembly, which is expensive and still uses the same basic sensor structure, meaning the problem can return again later. Lumistag PADM Sensors were redesigned specifically to address this weak point. The internal chip is mechanically reinforced with locking pins and protected by a CNC-machined aluminum housing for improved durability and stability. Fully plug-and-play with no coding required. Compatible with Porsche 981 / 982 / 991 platforms. https://lumistag.com/

      That is certainly your opinion but I stand by it. That thing is hideous and just looking at the profile of the two, the $650K Ferrari looks way too similar to a $40K Toyota. That is not a Ferrari. That is a $650K bar of soap with wheels.    You are right about the rest of it though. Just a whole lot of “meh” for that kind of coin.  If it had a different logo attached to it, then it might look okay. However, if no one told us this was a Ferrari, we would never have guessed it was. That is my point here. Nothing about it says Ferrari and it looks very stale and boring for the price point.

      Ford News: Ford F-150 Lightning Goes EREV with 700+ Mile Range and Locomotive-Like Towing

      Oh that is just plain silly that they'd have the same vehicle but some trims do and do not have CarPlay. I'm also in the same boat in not wanting a base model of pretty much anything. I dig the Lyriq (even though the name is horrible), but they're too pricey around me still. The cheaper ones are 40-42k and I just can't justify spending that.

      The front 2/3 of the car are attractive enough.  I don't know much else about it.

      I would not get a Super.  Find one with the normally aspirated 3800 V6.  Toward its final year, they may have gone to a Chevy sourced 3900 V6 or 3500 V6.  I guess those are ok if lower mileage, but the Buick 3800 V6 tends to be stellar. I just saw this or would have responded earlier.
