    That is an absolutely gorsgoue car. One of my favorite color combinations that you never see on cars is grey and that bright-ish color blue. And the interior was done in it too!

    Is that it? The 2500 and Caprice still use the 6.0? I guess... why? Why do they still use that as opposed to the 5.3(caprice) or 6.2(2500)?

    I am not good with "special editions". This could be tough...

    BMW is the only company that doesn't evolve their design language.. It will eventually start to hurt them. I mean I think they look good and all but.. They need some more tweaks and evolution like the other German companies have done over the last handful of years.

    This is how I feel about it as well.

    1.6L Diesel. This thing will murder miles per gallon. I could see this thing with a light foot and reasonable speeds achieving 60mpg on a long trip. This makes me more curious about the Equinox diesel.

    It absolutely looks like a Chinese knockoff!

    Go on.. explain every factual thing you have to say about what is "actually" going on. Don't forget to site your sources. The link was very clear that with the right hand drive they had to reroute the exhaust which caused some restriction therefore reduced flow. You don't need much of a pinch to reduce power by that much.

    It isn't a short cut when the are rated differently. If they rated them the same and weren't the same..that's a different story and it would leave them subject to some lawsuits.

    WOW! For some reason this really really surprises me. I never would have guessed. I just assumed they were still in production.. like I assumed the 918 had turbos lol. From that list I'd swap the Challenger for the 911 Turbo.

    It's easy to have less debt when you get the tax payers to clean the sheet for ya. What shortcut are you talking about?

    Wow, I just looked those colors up and they are awesome. Especially that shade of green. I'd love to have something in that color. The orange is awesome, like super awesome, I just think I would get sick of it much quicker.
  14. ccap41
    Yeah that'd be nice if they were limited to the 2WD versions. I'm curious what % gain they get from those. It must be fairly significant if they bother designing and putting them on.
  15. ccap41
    Neither the Ram Rebel or Ford Raptor have the chin spoiler/underbelly pan. But all three do in their on-road versions.
  16. ccap41
    Yeah, you can easily cut those and half and they are still very well paying jobs. Pensions. Hate'm..because I don't have one. lol I have to contribute to my own 401k and my company matches but it's my own money put into it. Those listed above making near or above 200k don't even have to contribute 5-10% a year to be able to retire like the rest of us do so it's like a 5-10% raise on top of those numbers. Ps. thanks for the information!

    I didn't realize GM still made the 6.0. I just assumed everthing was 5.3, 6.2 or their diesel(when it comes to trucks). Why is the 6.0 still around when they have the 6.2? Or vise versa? If they just detuned the 6.2 they could make it as powerful as this 6.0 or anywhere in the middle. What else still uses the 6.0 that I don't know about?

    We get moles every year as well.. Almost never do anything about them unless they are really bad for some reason. I don't know how it is even possible to NOT have term limits. I mean the president has had term limits..for ever? Right? If the 'most sought after' position has a limit and I believe there are limits for a lot of other positions as well without looking up the terms.. I think some are 2,4 and 6 years...but don't quote me.. I also think there should be massive pay cuts from those positions. Not to try and save money or anything like that but because I want the politicians in office because they want to make the US a better place and not because it is a well paying job and all of the benefits. I don't mind a retirement fund like we get from our jobs. I'm assuming theirs is MUCH MUCH easier than ours is though. What is theirs like?

    Depends what defines "practicality". For some being practical just means great mileage and interior room isn't necessary. Some just need as much room as possible and still 35mpg highway. Some might need a capable AWD system because they deal with snow almost 6 months out of the year. Looks are completely up to you. Which ones do you think look the least good that you would probably get sick of looking at? That'd be an easy way to get rid of a couple off of the list. I don't know how we allowed these two clowns to get this far.

    It's also the only car in its class with a twin turbo V6 and AWD. It WILL weigh the most. Over 4100lbs... still heavy but I don't see it as a massive surprise. Ford has been good at most things until the aluminum F150 at being overweight.
  21. ccap41
    None of those are AWD and only one of those has two turbos and is comparable, imo. I know size of vehicle they might be similar but two turbos, plumbing, and an AWD system isn't the lightest thing you can do to a car. None of those cars are even available with AWD in those engines. My Escape's FWD vs AWD weight is 3621lbs and 3769lbs(Ford website for 2.0T) . So there's a big bulk of the additional weight, the AWD system.

    Yeah the TheFerrari, 918, and P1 were all on the near-miss list. I could have those three, and X5 M and not even own anything else and be content.. But those are the kind of cars you just don't really drive. They seem so impractical for anything but track use. I completely agree with the TTv6 vs V12 thing. But if anybody ever says "If you could get one car for free, what would it be?" The first two that come to my head are the GT350 because of the 5.2 sounds so glorious and perfect to me and the GT because..it's a GT. Yeah the engine isn't the ideal setup but it's just so beautiful.
  23. ccap41
    It makes sense though. That's probably why they never went ahead and used ST/RS/GT or anything like that for it. They kept it a soft daily cruiser with some brawn. 13.7 is pretty good. 101mph sounds like most EcoBoosts...running out of breath on the top end. North of 4100lbs is quite chunky. But I guess a twin turbo V6 with AWD that does happen..
  24. ccap41
    Hmmm.. I'm about as undecided as I can be. The first two that come to my mind without any hesitation as the GT and GT350(R). So those two get the list. Ford GT Ford GT350R(I have to have at least ONE manual transmission!!) Mercedes AMG GT Ferrari 488 ..now something to drive every day.. I would have to legitimately drive them to pick one but I think I like the X5 more than the GLE.. I would also like to throw the Rover Sport Supercharged in there as well. But, make it an M car. X5 M to drive daily. I'm still a little torn.. I'm afraid I would have the 488, AMG GT, and GT and just never really drive them. I don't mind having one show car in probably the Ford GT but possibly 3..? I might swap out the 488 OR the AMG GT for a ZL1 or Z06..or ATS-V..or CTS-V.. Man, there are just to make great cars out there!

    There's one in the STL area(Brazilian unlimited meat restaurant) but it's way out of my way. The gf and I want to try it some time. A guy I work with said it was great. I've just never been..
