    My response was that when I first read this and I am very excited by the cost per features of this car, but the first thing it reminded me of was an MB CLA when I looked at it. I do think that the Korean brands tend to take heavily from the Germans in their style. The coupe sedan look is just so blah as MB especially seems to make all their cars look the same.

    Longer life before having to replace maintenance items is great. $80 synthetic oil changes every 10K miles is fine. Even when you break down a $2,000 100,000 mile maintenance for the Escalade is cheap over the life of those miles. I think some people are shocked to see a price tag that way if they are used to cost being every 25-30K miles. but it really is cheaper. The maintenance cost was $200 a year for the 10 years before having to do that 100,000 miles service.

    Also dump the wasteful unprofitable Alfa that has stolen the billions from the US name plates. Alfa back to the history books along with adding Fiat!

    Totally agree, take the Pacifica Hybrid system and a pure EV system and build Chrysler as your Minivan / CUV Hybrid / EV product line and Dodge as the ICE Performance Line. Jeep and Ram stay with their awesome current lineup.

    So true from the fit n finish to just the awkward angles that @Cubical-aka-Moltar has mentioned, really disappointed in the car. Many at work have bought them and they do not boast about it like they used to before or like the S versions owners. I think there is some buyers remorse and I would not be surprised to see many traded in once other OEMs EV's hit the market.

    Chrysler, your new All Minivan Product line!

    Is that a Rebadge of the MB CLA?

    My daughters 1999 Durango with the 5.9 L V8 is awesome and runs so smoothly but after 323,000 miles even with changing them out the engine seems to leak oil since about 100,000 miles. Very weird, but leaks about 1/2 Quart between oil changes. So pan underneath and will just top it off till she decides what she wants to buy.

    Totally agree, we need to bring back the rich historical names and then have the V still. ? Imagine an Elmiraji V

    I loved and was not able to buy at the time the Jeep Eliminator Pickup truck with the HO straight 6.

    Excitement! Two things come to mind, one is you could buy the platinum with the detuned twin turbo V8 and then update the programming I am wondering and when will they roll out the V-Series for the CUV / SUV product line?

    Love the pictures and history on this story of the fastest cars Car and Driver has ever reviewed. Starts with the 1958 Chevrolet Corvette. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/autos-sports/the-quickest-cars-car-and-driver-has-ever-tested/ss-BBNfnC7?li=BBnb7Kz#image=1

    Gonna be interesting to see what this costs the German Auto OEMs. Cheating never lasts!

    For you I figure you would want the car as is. For me, if I found an old car cheaply that looked like this, restoring would be with a modern powertrain.

    Anyone want a Jaguar Pickup, AKA F150 with a nose job? http://www.thedrive.com/news/23631/someone-gave-this-ford-f-150-the-strangest-jaguar-s-type-makeover

    Sounds like something a 3rd party programmer could due to improve performance by removing OEM coded pauses to mimic a real traditional transmission.

    V12 1940 Lincoln Continental for Sale to a good home. @balthazar I think this could meet your sizing needs for a spacious car! https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/lincoln/continental/1987481.html Certain people can crucify me later, but think if you built this car with an electric powertrain and had that front as a Frunk to complement the trunk. Talk about quiet, roomy and who cares how much luggage you wanted to bring.

    My boss lives in Durham NC and this is the stream behind his house. Morgan Creek Sept 13th 2018 Morgan Creek Sept 17th 2018 Florence is leaving her mark on that area of the country that will change many things. So much water.

    https://www.autoblog.com/2018/09/18/european-bicycle-speed-record-set-porsche-cayenne/ This story makes me question just how real world records are when you have other devices making special cocoons of air voids or towing to a certain point before said bike can work. These are not real world tests. They are Failures IMHO. No external items should be allowed in attempting to make a world record.

    https://www.autoblog.com/2018/09/18/audi-e-tron-sportback-suv/ Seems a Sportback version will join this baby next year as an option. Very cool. Also at the LA auto show this year, VW is planning to show off their new GT EV concept. Exciting year for us auto enthusiast.

    running into issues with size and power constraints tells me that the V6 was already built at it's maximum potential. Sad failure to build an engine that way. Seems the story at Auto Evolution states the following: Love it or hate it, the Pentastar V6 is getting on a bit. In addition to age, the six-cylinder suffers from cylinder head failure and overheating of the valve seats. The cam phasers, oil filters, and cap O-rings also leave much to be desired from a naturally aspirated engine.

    Seems really stupid for companies to enforce a mandatory tie policy of fancy clothes for everyone especially when the bulk of the employees never interact with the customer.
