  1. It isn't the torque number itself, it's how high in the RPM range it is.
  2. Hmmm.. I'd prefer plug-in but I'm not realistically in the market for one of these anyway.
  3. Yes, please. Although, if I'm being honest, I'd prefer the 2 row Edge ST over this. I like the RWD proportions and, assuming, dynamics but I don't drive aggressive often enough to take advantage of that in an SUV. So is this hybrid a plug-in? I didn't see anything about range..
  4. The numbers are going to be pretty nuts with this but the nose isn't the prettiest. I don't think it's ugly but I'm not "Wowed" by the nose or spoiler. 7spd DCT is interesting.. Very interesting.. I would as well. My skill level isn't high enough to be able to control another 200hp and I just can't get enough of the 5.2 flat plane crank's noises. I'll gladly take the "slower" of the two.
  5. What @dfelt said. I assume DOHC has emissions advantages as everybody has moved to them awhile ago. This is why I'm surprised they didn't use some other engine or have a second optional engine with more torque for the larger vehicle that this is.
  6. It's going to be tough to get more test miles in when they're canceling it.. Yeah, a base 3.6 would be fine but something more powerful as an option, with all the GM's available engines, should have been an obvious decision.
  7. You don't need to be an enthusiast to test drive two vehicles and one has torque and one doesn't.
  8. This is nice and disappointing.. Same lame V6 rated the same as their chevy counterpart and no showing off of their tech with Super Cruise.
  9. That's insane.
  10. It looks like a finger tip type of job after looking it up.. or do it the way you did it. Light bulbs are either super duper easy or they are a huge pain in the @ss. Not too often are they like a 10 minute job. It's either 2 minutes or 45 minutes.. I replaced the driver side fog light on my Focus a few months ago and it probably took me 40 minutes to get it back in. When I was at the dealer last I asked them about it and they said it would only cost $10 INCLUDING the price of the bulb. It'll go there next time.
  11. Realistically, I would never consider it "out of the question". Things change, markets change, economies change.. too many variables to say it is completely out of the question. This just sounds like saving face for the current situation.
  12. This is one of the foreign Fords that would have been cool to have had here. ST wagon.
  13. They've both proven to be ballsy enough already(turbo 4cyl & turbo 6cyl in TRUCKS). They aren't going to let some startup take this away from them
  14. I cant realistically see a 50/50 merger either. No way. Helping each other in certain markets for certain vehicle? Sure.
  15. I completely agree. With GM and their Bolt technology and Ford saying a year or so ago they're working on hybridizing the F150.. I have a feeling both of those auto monsters know when and how to roll out their electrified versions. Not to say they are always correct but there's more data available now than ever to not screw that kind of thing up.
  16. I will not donate my money to a startup auto company.. It's one of the most difficult markets to crack into.
  17. Oh daaaaamn, haven't see that name in awhile! How the heck have ya been???
  18. How did you get that information? I tried fiddling with that site and couldn't find regional information like you found. Mine, more or less, asks me about specific jobs and what I'm looking for.
  19. Holy crap those prices are pretty nuts in comparison.
  20. Yeah, I wasn't sure how well that would upload.. Haha gas has dropped to under $2/gal here. $1.94/gal is what I paid yesterday. I average about 32mpg so a full tank is worth about 350 miles, on average. I read that the flow rate of gas pumps are between 10-11 gallons per minute, fwiw.
  21. That 20hp is probably a wash when you add a couple hundred pound AWD system and the increased drivetrain losses..
  22. I could see interiors like this being the future regardless of this specific company being successful or not.
  23. Turn the volume down/off as there’s a fire truck rolling past. 292CC270-8EF5-4F81-A8CC-59A88E8A2ECA.MOV
