@Robert Hall Found a car that has my color! 2019 Hellcat Redeye edition Dodge Challenger For $85K I can dig driving this!

Agree that Korean G90 is Awesome looking! Your talking about the Korean G90 sedan right? This to me blows out the Mercedes-Benz cars even the S-Class.

And that is the problem, my colors are not available in a posters auto or mine.

Sucks that the cars posted and what I like are not available in the colors I like.

Industry News: Trump's Tariff Threat Turned Out To Be A Farce
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Industry News
And yet so many are expecting him to be re-elected due to the economy. -
G80 seems to have the same presence: G90 2020 sure has a presence WOW, they also have a G90 Special Edition that sure has presence!

Thanks for posting, seems you can buy and pay the dealer to program and install it or in the thread you posted there is a person who will send the unit programmed and you just have to plug n play to swap out head units. QUOTE: Every 2014+ has intellilink. You do not need to specify it like the older generations do If you have no nav, then you have RPO IO5. The HMI part number I gave you would upgrade you to RPO IO6. RPO IO6 is the same system you have now but with the factory nav option. Your icon for on*NAV will change to just "Navigation" as the unit has a nav application and maps built into it. If you use a NG2.5 HMI with IO6 (the part number I sent you), you will add Android Auto, CarPlay, and Navigation to your current system. You will loose the Time Shift Radio functionality. You will need to add a nav antenna (the blue connector) No it is not hard. If you have ever put a radio in a car before you can handle this. It is a plug and play upgrade. You can purchase it preprogrammed from Chris@whiteautoandmedia or you can go the DIY route and procure it yourself and have someone program it locally.

Just looked up and the 2015 and 2016 use the same ECU part number. This is very interesting as it does make me scratch my head on why the 15 could not get the phone feature. Will have to dig into this more later as I am really wondering why. ?
-
Seems that they do use the same part number nav system so you could get a 2016 with Android / apple and put it into the 2015 car. I checked a few other GM OEM part sites and they all use the same part number. Like Drew, not sure why the 2015 cannot be upgraded to work with the system but 2016 does say it is compatible. The radio / antenna components for Digital Audio are the same too. Very interesting

Happy Monday Everyone!

This just confirms that how an auto rides, drives and the overall layout inside of how a person interacts with an auto can be positive or negative. One persons like of how it drives on the road is another's person negative. At least we get to arm chair quarterback and debate these in a civil manner. Thanks for the post! I will agree with you that both of these cars have that same presence!

Industry News: Trump's Tariff Threat Turned Out To Be A Farce
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Industry News
What ? Trump did his own FAKE News? Shocker This goes along with the statement that Mexico also said was FALSE, Trump's claim that Mexico was going to buy immediately a ton of US produce. Which would drive an increase in truck sales to move it. Yet again not happening. At least for now, this Tariff thing is over with Mexico and we can move on with our focus on work and life. Truckin since it sounds better than SUVin, lol -
Toyota’s bold new electric cars look nothing like your friendly Prius http://flip.it/3Wq13u Seems Toyota is joining the ev game and moving up ther time table to get them to market sooner. No frumpy Prius here.

Your missing my point, Building a race engine is one thing, we all know MB will put this into as many auto's as they can to recover development cost. Point being, plenty of quality engines have been built with low end grunt that moves plenty quick with decent hp. This engine continues what I view as a poor design based on Marketing lies about needing high reving high HP engines with lower torque or very weak torque as most Italian cars have and more and more German cars have. High RPM to produce the torque does not make an efficient engine. Proof is in the need to Turbo the heck out of the auto's adding a ton of weight and not really getting any more MPG efficiency out other than a smaller engine for lower tax purposes.

Agree that the Quad had it's problems, Yet it was loved for being a motor that could be turbo'd and pushed to over 1200hp / ft-lbs of torque. I give props as MB has built a small motor with high HP / torque numbers, yet the Torque is still below the HP and high in the RPM band. This means like a sewing machine engines you have to really rev it to get the performance out of it. GM on the other hand built plenty of small motors that could move without reeving the hell out of them.

@smk4565 this hurts, MB best selling GLC is not getting the love in the new release. As they say, one step forward and one giant step backwards. Mercedes-Benz GLC review: one step forward, one step back for this popular family SUV http://flip.it/erXKDL

Wonder if a 2016 radio could be bought and fit into the 2015? ?
-
Yes allot of Juice, but pathetic still. Still not sold on these overhead cam and in this case dual with high horsepower and weak torque. Guess Germans like Italian love their High revving noise over actual grunt of moving. Interesting note is that the Quad 4 always had more torque than HP without a turbo and still passed emissions. Anyone that drove a Quad 4 could feel the grunt of movement in your gut without having to race the sewing machine engine.

I actually am, this is a hand off to a new generation. A.I / M.L. is a reality, for those not accustomed to the acronym, Artificial Intelligence Machine Learning. I am working on a project right now, it is real and will be coming to technology near you soon. I am excited by the new robots and the final hand off from both Linda and Arnold to a new young cast. Having Cameron doing the movie, should be great.

Lovely another WASTE of Tax payers dollars on a company visit to really hid the cost of being used to stump for re-election of Potus45. https://www.abc27.com/news/local/carlisle-west-shore/vp-pence-to-attend-pa-gop-state-dinner/2053594541 Pretty clear this is a fund raising / re-election visit than a valid company visit. Need to stop of Political people from abusing the system this way. Seems since December 47,000 manufacturing jobs have been shed. Guess the Trump Bump is over. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-04-05/manufacturing-jobs-boom-is-fading Harvard University economist Robert Z. Lawrence described this phenomenon in 2017, writing that it suggested “a tradeoff between the ability of the manufacturing sector to contribute to productivity growth and its ability to provide employment opportunities.” In the booming 1990s, big gains in manufacturing productivity were accompanied by more or less flat manufacturing employment; in the less-booming early 2000s and in the immediate aftermath of the last recession, spectacular gains in manufacturing productivity were accompanied by plummeting manufacturing employment.

Chrysler News: FCA Named In Whistleblower Lawsuit
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Chrysler
Totally agree, I think there is more here that will come up as your right, the sales reporting was in the news for a long time, yet this I think will bring up additional uglyness. -
Way to go, Congratulations! ?
