    They also do some trick things these days with active grill shudders, super low air dams, tiny spoilers(look at the shapes of the tailgates) to get air off of the vehicle more smoothly.

    I mean they kind of did.. They made a 2/3 heavy duty with a 5.0 Cummins.

    It'd be nice but reduced drag of the current body styles make that a difficult thing to hope for..

    I bet there is actually quite a bit of tuning that goes into it because the new 2.0T doesn't have the same exact outputs and outputs at a given rpm. I'm not doubting they will do a fine job, just saying it's a new combo that nobody has driven yet.

  5. Lincoln News: Lincoln Planning to Add Suicide Doors To Continental

    ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in Lincoln
    It would definitely be a Lincoln or Cadillac followed by the Asian brands. German engineers just to everything so different it is more difficult to do regular/simple stuff on our own.

    I'd assume you're correct but those are just guesses at this point as we're talking transmissions now and nobody has driven this XT4 matched to the brand new engine.

    With a post-purchase modification. From GM or not. That's like saying the EcoBoost Mustangs are 335hp and 390 lb-ft with the Ford Performance tune for only $699. Depending what you want to believe from Ford... They're still only FWD, right? They already probably have some trick system to get power down but upping that more they're going to have to re-configure that out too.

    CLA45? 355hp/332 lb-ft. Everything else you said is probably spot on but there is no simpler engines being made anymore. Everything is more and more complex.. you even mentioned the ability to run on 2cyl..lol

  9. New York 2018: 2019 Subaru Forester Looks the Same, Adds More Tech: Comments

    ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in New York International Auto Show (NYIAS)
    I think it's been a few years at this point too. They just haven't changed anything in a long time. Even their fun/toy cars are pretty "meh".

    I like it the most of the 3.

    Pretty awesome it will have variable compression. That sounds pretty high tech! I still don't think it looks very good...

    ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in New York International Auto Show (NYIAS)
    I guess, where do the Taco and Canyonado stand in regards to that as well? Ehhhh I guess the taillights do but they just seem way more appropriate on a car or SUV and not a truck where they’re supposed to be durable and I don’t see a light strip like that taking much abuse. The Charger/Durango pull it off perfect, IMO.

    This is 5 inches longer than the shortest f150 so it really isn’t that far off of the full size crowd

    I'm very impressed with how it looks considering it isn't BOF. When i first saw it, and it didn't have goofy proportions, I assumed it was BOF. That means it would actually drive and handle pretty damn well too.

    I'm totally okay with the way the bed and cab are joined. I think it works for a truck. I sure hope that goes away for any form of production vehicle(LED lighting).

    I pretty much love everything about it except the ridiculous cross-body LED lighting front and rear. Simplify that and it'd be golden.

    ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in New York International Auto Show (NYIAS)
    Why would they update already if sales are that great? Why not hold off a year or two(or even 3!) and just rake in the cash to put towards other development because they sell so damn well.

    ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in New York International Auto Show (NYIAS)
    They have the Nautilus/Edge as a 2-row, 5 passenger above the MKC and below the Navigator and this will be the Explorer to the Expedition in the Lincoln lineup.

    I like it both inside and out.

    Hahaha i barely read this one at all because I read something elsewhere.. They probably said it there as well that I managed to read over.

    Vehicle looks great. It's exciting to hear about a plug-in hybrid, because that's my current favorite hybrid/EV design. Did I hear that correctly? REAR WHEEL DRIVE??? @Drew Dowdell is this a new platform or...? I guess while i tagged you and speaking of platforms.. any idea when the new Ford modular platform is supposed to be a thing? CD8, I think?

    ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in New York International Auto Show (NYIAS)
    Right???? Seems a little odd. I mean I can visually see a little difference in rear seat leg room(assuming both front seats have the same space as well).

    ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in New York International Auto Show (NYIAS)
    If Drew can see over the roof easily and there are less cargo capacity than a Golf it's hard to believe it's any larger than an MKC. I mean I know the dimensions are larger it just seems odd.

    ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in New York International Auto Show (NYIAS)
    Wow, that's definitely smaller than I would have thought. I originally thought this was more Edge/JGC-sized but I guess that's what the XT5 is.

    After reading what you guys have said, is this like MKC-sized then? It seems priced about that way.
