But, But, But According to the master blaster of all things German and the ultimate German God of all things Auto who invented the auto industry Mercedes-benz, one should throw away a perfectly good design to change it up and let marketing tell you that a straight six turbo'd to 400HP is better than a traditional NA V8 because the Germans said so! -
I really like this and the spaciousness it appears to have inside. Excited for the revolution in auto's.
-
Plus I doubt the Ridgeline could drive through 3 feet of water or has the Frunk, cool behind seats storage place, I am thinking it is on par with the basic full size pickups and might even reach into some areas of the offroad crowd like a Z71.

Is that a 3 person EV? ?
-
So the QX which was to be shown today decided to be finicky and not drive out after the video. Kinda funny. I like the sleek look, but then it is only an update to the X that was shown with a turbo 4 banger last time and now is fully electric. https://www.pscp.tv/w/1OyKAyomWloKb

EXCITEMENT, seems to be the theme for Hyundia this year at Detroit. Cool
-
One side of me says this is so weird and strange for the company and the other is so excited and happy that they finally are wanting to race the world with performance auto's.
-
It reminds me of the Mercedes-Benz CLA but with a huge hood scoop and Ricer Wing. Faithfull I am sure are excited and already thinking of how they can buy it.
-
Fair enough, be interesting to see what happens in 12 months.
-
Love the Green Color and for the most part a pretty Sharp CUV.
-
Side door area does remind me of the Cascada.
-
Is it really? Power Wagon for off road adventure, Rivian Adventure Activity Truck for living life. Clearly noticeable differences between the trucks, but one could make a case as to why they would compete in the same segment. Just saying, we redefine market roles all the time. Rivian is big into the outdoors and rock climbing. markets.
-
? Why does BMW always look so dated and kind reminds me of a Buick on the side door profile section. Weird.
-
So Toyota got old bones selling as an overpriced new car. Got it, Kinda like MB did to chrysler. lol
-
I wonder when the Rivian pickup comes out how it will match up to the Ram Power Wagon,

My Note 8 is crappy? ?

Such an overrated rebadge of the BMW Z4 and Toyota was wrong to connect with BMW as you now have your $2,500 Stereo system upgrade required and only Apple Play no Android available. Other option packages are standard on so many auto's. There is no reason to waste money on this car. Pass
-
Yea that is the problem with all DOHC engines is the fact that you have to rev them to make that stated torque and go even higher to get it. Too many solid long life pushrod engines that make a ton of torque low without having to be rev'd so hard.
-
According to the Road Show on CNET, pricing is now available on the Supra and I have to say it SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS. Who the hell pays $2,490 for the required upgraded stereo / nav system to just get apple play, No Android is available. Sorry Toyota but you guys really messed this one up. I agree with the write up that for a base car starting at $50k dollars, there are far better auto's out there that include all the expensive features listed in the story as upgrade options: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/2020-toyota-supra-pricing-detroit-auto-show/ the base 3.0 model starting at $49,990 before options. The Premium version goes up to 53,990, and the Launch Edition will set you back a cool $55,250.

IMHO DOHC engines suck big time and they never unless turbo'd have more torque than HP. This engine is another example, Peak HP 310 HP, Torque while not stated in Drew's story, Autoweek states 271 lb-ft of torque. (https://autoweek.com/article/detroit-auto-show/2020-cadillac-xt6-fills-out-luxury-lineup-detroit-auto-show) Found GM's chart on this motor, keeping it the same as what is in the XT5: People seem to love it, but why not give it the 335HP / 285 lb-ft config for a bigger CUV over the XT5 just makes no sense to me. Still hate the DOHC weak ass Torque design. I will say as I missed this the first time I read it "CUE will now allow drivers to store their profile in the cloud for customization across compatible vehicles." This is smart for GM to have this in their auto family that has this feature in their new auto's. Config in the cloud and moved around between auto's. Course how many people can afford multiple new cars in the same year. ?♂️ Still cool feature.
-
That would also have quieted down the Critics pointing to the Aviator. I honestly say Lincoln won this round of CUVs. Sad
-
Would love the looks of the ST in Hybrid form, any idea if it can be ordered that way?
-
Sorry, I was sleeping what did they do to make it more aggressive? ?
-
You are right on, I am very surprised to not see this as the base engine and a turbo version in the 400HP / 400 lb-ft of torque department.
-
I really want to like this, but the Mustang just does not do anything for me. meh ?♂️
