I did a little searching and it seems like people are trying things and parts already, which is cool. Hopefully the aftermarket grows with this car but I bet it'll be pretty small. This was a good little read and they made some pretty significant gains with intake, catback, and a tune. https://stingerforum.org/threads/stinger-gt-3-3tt-mods-begin.1062/page-2 Absolutely! My Mustang I had dyno tuned but I had it on a handheld tuner so I could go back and forth when I wanted to was like a 5 minute process to go back and forth. If I could have had it from fuel economy to performance in a couple seconds, that would be FANTASTIC. Although, I know m fuel economy tune would be on 87 octane and performance would be on 93 so that would never really work for me.

I'm not OEM-only at all but that site just seemed sketchy, waaaay too cheap for a tune, and it's a piggy-back style system that, to simplify it, tricks the ECU instead of actually reprogramming the ECU. I just don't feel comfortable doing things like that. The idea of a dial seems fantastic but I'd rather buy a "canned" tune if I'm not sending my car to a dyno tuner.

Thank you SOOOOOOO much, Drew! One update a week will be plenty. I honestly haven't even read any of the emails because there were just so many of them. Maybe I have, maybe I haven't...

@Drew Dowdell There has to be a better way to unfollow or not get notifications/EMAILS from every thread we've posted in. I have 43 pages of threads I've posted in and in order to not get emails from them I have to deselect each and every once of those???? I get more C&G emails then junk mail at this point.

I don't think that's a blinker because why would we need a blinker in that location. I think that might be a blind spot indicator.. I'm could very well be wrong though.

For the 28k the Abarth costs it's really difficult to beat because when I build a Mustang or Camaro I add things that swell the price to 30-32k(but with them you can certainly get some discounts but I won't include those). I think the biggest reason I've never really lusted over the small coupe/roadster is I live in such a flat boring landscape. On a daily basis I wouldn't really get to take advantage of something fun and toss-able like the 124/MX-5. I'll add an even larger twist to the game.. Hot hatches. if I had to keep the MSRP under 30k.. I'd probably get a GTI and I haven't heard a bad thing about them on back-road twisties either. Yeah, they're considered wrong wheel drive...

That's actually more lame of a car than a 2018 MX-5, believe it or not. 201 1998 horsepowers..

Agreed. But the price difference is probably like 10-15k so that's a difficult comparison. Went to their sites.. ATS starts at 38k and the Miata starts at 25k. Spider is the same as the Miata. Price wise, its more like a base Mustang/Camaro, BRZ, or Toyota 86 comparison. If I could get the ATS coupe with the same engine as the Camaro 2.0T that would be my choice. I just like the inside, outside, and visibility of the ATS so much more.

Neat, but I'd still rather have the ZR2.

What about that is a problem? A CUV that's FWD based for moms is right up the market's alley. I don't think the two leading luxury SUV sales leaders are complaining about their sales even the slightest... XT5 outsells the X5 by roughly 18,000 units YTD this year. http://www.goodcarbadcar.net/2017/12/november-2017-ytd-u-s-suv-sales-rankings-top-106-best-selling-suvs-america-every-suv-ranked/ The top 5 luxury SUVs, in sales, are all FWD based and laughing at your statements. The RX might surpass 100,000 sales this year. X5 and GLC won't hit 50,000 and the GLE will just pass 50,000 units. I completely agree! there has to be differences because of the height of the body, stiffness for rollover prevention, AWD systems.. I'm just not sure what exactly.

But sharing the platform already and amortizing costs between their volumes I bet they aren't crying themselves to sleep any time soon. There's no logical reason for them to work another platform for RWD CUVs. They're mommy-mobiles and no good reason to cater to the 1% who want a sporty CUV and battle it out over 1% of a small market already, luxury CUVs costing 60-100k. How many enthusiast buyers do you think there are? Of that %, of buyers, how many are in the market for SUVs? Then of that %, how many are looking to spend 60-100k+ on an SUV?
