I don't think we have anything to worry about here. Tesla is slower than the legacies when it comes to releasing an all-new product. If it hasn't been announced and shown yet (which it hasn't) then we're looking at 5-7 years, minimum until somebody can buy one. And the legacies don't lobby for their own interests...hence the dealership model making it difficult for Tesla to sell automobiles for no legitimate reason other than legacy companies pulling strings behind closed doors. They're all the same when it comes to this. They all want the upper hand in everything they can.

I watched this yesterday and I had to ask myself, whose voice is this? Is this your voice? Sorry for the awkward question, I've just never heard you talk! Hahaha. Just for the record, the voice wasn't bothersome in any way, I'm just curious. If I'm being picky, I'm not in love with the wing. Buuuuut, I do think I like everything else in this variation, especially that paint!

That means it has to be north of 526hp, because of the GT350, right? I feel EXACTLY this. I'm just not sure but I'm leaking towards liking it..? While it doesn't exactly make any logical sense, I completely agree with you. It just "feels" like it should have an analog dash but, then again, the current mustang has an optional digital cluster already, doesn't it?

I was actually just about to say that I bet every one of us has a story where a friend, family member, coworker, or ourselves have run out of gas at one point. I, personally, have never run out of gas but I certainly know people who have. One of my best friends burnt up his fuel pump in his '97 Z/28 (30th anniversary) because he ran it dry and tried to start it up a couple times once he ran out. One of these bad boys. I loved this car.

I just read something on this and I believe the ones not included were listed under "submitted". I assume this means they've sent their proposal for the funds but it hasn't been approved yet. I have a feeling this will happen a "fair amount" with these extremely heavy EVs that are insanely quick, R1T, Hummer, Lightning. Trying to haul 8-10,000lb down from those acceleration rates is beyond the capabilities of the vehicle and physics.

Nothing more American than shopping for a Chinese built American branded automobile! ? -
Buick News: Buick Introduces All-New Envista Compact SUV in China

In the last 20 years, has anybody ever gone to a Chevy/Buick/GMC dealership and were looking for a Buick prior to getting there? I feel like people buy Buicks because they kind of "fell into them". They certainly liked the product but I don't know anybody who started car shopping FOR a Buick. I definitely know people who have bought Buicks but I'm almost positive none of them went to the dealership actively looking for a Buick. They went looking at the Chevy or GMC and liked the Buick more or it was priced/packaged how they wanted. -

I, too, hate the crossover coupe bullsheet. -
That was exactly the first thing I thought of, as well. Recalls absolutely do not equate reliability or unreliability.
-
Yeah, I'm not really understanding how they can be just as "shytty as the next OEM" either. A couple big recalls and they're on par with "everybody else"..?
-
That's a pretty bold statement about a company who is leading the US in total sales.

Dodge News: The 2023 Dodge Hornet Flies Out Of The Hive

I know I don't have some proof to back this up, but it just feels like you're using your anecdotal evidence to say that. While I don't think Toyotas are some magical world marvel that every one will last a million miles with minimal maintenance, I still find it hard to believe that they aren't in the top tier. They sell millions of vehicles every year solely based on reliability and I can't imagine they're all just getting burned on this by being completely average. -
I'd agree, the whole exterior package is pretty awesome. It looks phenomenal in that profile picture.

I fckn love that blue. 0-100mph in less than four seconds is absolutely bonkers.

I have no doubts that this will continue to be an Italian unreliable POS though.. But it seems like a compelling product. -

Also, that transmission that needed replacing in 2010 isn't a Corvette Transmission either. The Vette has a transaxle in the rear and your TBSS does not. -

That is suuuuch a longshot to try and say it is a Corvette with an SUV body. That would imply that the frame and chassis are also Corvette, which they are not. -

...a Trailblazer SS is not a Corvette with an SUV body... It's a BOF SUV with a Corvette engine. -

https://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-Toyota_model-Land+Cruiser.html There are 145 pages at 30 results per page, 4350 movies/shows with Land Cruisers in them. Why does the origin of the vehicle matter? They're built and advertised as luxury vehicles 100% of the time since being on sale in the US. Do you have proof of the articulation of the modern coil over system? That is really the only advantage of a solid axel over independent suspension, from my knowledge. The Bronco comes REALLY close to matching a Wrangler in articulation but it still isn't the same as solid axels, strictly when you're talking about tackling off-road obstacles.
