AWESOME, Thank you again @dwightlooi, This has been a great evening of working my job and learning some new stuff on new auto's. Very cool informative videos! Question for you, with the complexity of these engines and the various cam phases, what do you think the engine life will be if the basic maintenance is done? 250,000 miles 350,000 miles ?????? Appreciate your take on the engine life of these new designs.

@oldshurst442 Seems EV tax breaks are in fashion. Your country just announced today a new $5,000 tax break that can be used immediately for your first tax year of ownership for everyone who wants to buy an EV that costs $45,000 or less. https://chargedevs.com/newswire/canada-announces-new-5000-ev-incentive-but-no-teslas-need-apply/ Tesla need not apply

That is great info to know and I wonder if that is what they are doing with this years XT5 that I had as a service loaner for a few days. The start / stop was barely noticable compared to earlier year versions. Thank you Dwight, I love this type of learning. You made my day as I am still working so a break like this is very welcomed by me. You Rock!

THANK YOU Dwight!!! This is very interesting information, so Ford then choose to write off the investment and go another route versus GM wanting to get money out of their investment and offer a rather pathetic power train. These are the type of decisions that GM will end up hurting by. Yes it would be great if every dollar invested in R&D returned a profit, but sometimes, the best intentions means you throw it into the garbage bin and start over. Very sad for sure, Hopefully GM will realize they need to offer something better. Put this in the Chevrolet's and bring in a proper Torque heavy Tranny!

Yup, I understand that cause Washington is a right-to-work state too. I was thinking of the German unions that are going to get real loud due to this I think.

This makes total sense and I expect to see more tie ups between auto companies to cover global markets as costs rise and profits are squeezed. It will be interesting to see who ends up on top in the future. India I can see going EV's sooner rather than later to deal with their dirty air issues. Africa, I do not see EV's happening in the next 100 years there until they can accept and stop killing each other. One market that is scary based on the amount of civil war. Interesting that Suzuki has already created a motor that meets the new stricter emission standards. I can easily see both of these companies moving to a single platform to share among both companies.

This totally makes sense. The unions better get used to a reduced paying employee base.

Agree the wrangler will still sell well. Was curious, so off to the Chrysler website to see what details were. Pacifica Limited has a $44,445 MSRP. Pacifica Limited Hybrid has a $45,545 MSRP I am expecting Jeep to keep the price tight like this too!

Just edit your original post. You get lots of stuff right, lovely cars for sure and some prime examples of bad corporate badge engineering. LOL

Who says it will cost an extra $10K? ?‍♂️

Sweet ride. No Reserve: 38k-Mile 1973 Ford LTD Coupe http://flip.it/3RzB7S

Choice does humans good!

Too Late, the Wrangler PHEV is out already on the roads being tested. https://www.autoblog.com/2019/03/20/2021-jeep-wrangler-phev-spy-photos/

Seems the First Jeep Gladiators are rolling off the assembly line finally.

Your right I have said two different things, I think for the class, CPO is better than these auto's new IMHO. I also am not impressed with C Class or any of the others. I just feel that the overall class is a cheap class that if we were not forced to deal with stupid nanny devices and other unneeded items the auto makers could give a superior ride with superior quality materials at that price point. I see nothing wrong with manual windows or door locks. When we are talking inexpensive auto's I think their is much that could be done better in a base auto than what you get out of this class for the price. But that IMHO.

That is working again, Thank you Yup this is working again too.

Korea Cadillac is going great to get people to try out their auto's. Cadillac is giving free rides all over Jeju Island as people go there to swim and enjoy the warmth. Kinda like going to the Florida Keys Islands. Great way to get people into a Cadillac even for a short trip and let them see what the auto is all about.

@Drew Dowdell I am using Opera, and have not had any issues till today. Any thread I am in and if someone else posts to it, I usually get the pop-up at the bottom of who posted and do you want to show the most current one. Now it just shows up with a circle to represent the person and a black box. Anyone else seeing this? Yes very weird that part of the info of who your quoting is blank too now.

And all look cheap like any other auto in the same segment. @ccap41 Come on you know that for the price you pay for these 3 auto's you can get better CPO options out there that look way better.

Naw, a Shooting Brake 2 door Gran is what they should do.

Either company would be good for FCA to merge with as I think they would also benefit from the dynamics of larger global purchasing / sales. I honestly cannot see FCA, PSA or JLR surviving much longer as an independent company.

Interesting, Guess BMW had that car in a variety of Matte finishes: Matte Bronze Matte Green M6 version in Matte Black M6 in their Green is Nice.

Your talking this one?

So then this would say BMW is joining the likes of Toyota, Chevrolet, etc. in whoring out an auto to every Tom, Dick and Harry they can! FWD is the New Ultimate Driving Machine? ? GM beat them to this by what 30 years? @balthazar

Do I get a Millennial Hug to make me feel better and Trophies all around so we do not forget to include everyone both winners and losers? Course according to the 21st century parenting guide, there is no more winners or losers. Everyone is equal. ?
