    WHAT?! Porsche Cayenne Coming With A Diesel In 2012

    Porsche seems to be following the same idea as Volkswagen with setting an ambitious sales goal for 2018. Porsche’s U.S. chief Detlev von Platen told Automotive News this week that he sees the brand selling 50,000 vehicles in the US by 2018. Now that might sound crazy, but Porsche is on track to sell 29,000 vehicles in the US this year.

    To help reach this goal, Porsche is counting on three models; the new 911, the Panamera GTS, and a new Cayenne Diesel.

    The Cayenne diesel will arrive at dealers sometime in late 2012 packing a 3.0L V-6 turbodiesel engine producing 240 HP and 406 lb-ft of torque. The diesel will join the hybrid version of the Cayenne.

      Is it possible to fit a Holley Dual Plane Intake on an '09 lacrosse super?

      I was thinking, and theoretically, could it be possible to put the aces Mid-Rise, Single Plane, Carb Style, Cast, 4150 Style LS Intake Manifold on an '09 lacrosse super, and then throw on an aces kill shot fusion lite, and then use a T42 TCM for my tcm?

      The Super would have the Northstar V8 and while the engine was mostly sorted out by then they are higher maintenance and are a Premium Fuel recommended car, so you have to be willing to be spending $5+ per gallon.  The 3900 V6 isn’t as exciting but it’s dependable and reasonably fuel efficient for such a large car

      I am looking for a good starter car and am thinking of a 2009 Buick Lucerne super. Is that a good starter car? if not, any suggestions?

      Took a look at the details in the recommended setup from PSE (Puget Sound Energy) and they say the typical house uses 20 to 40 kW over night and then having a battery pack equal too plus 10% for EV charging. PSE is recommending a 150 kW battery pack of storage so that I would not pull from the grid. Tesla FAILURE, Promise, Promise, Promise, and never deliver.
