That only works if they're in a city. Nowhere near everybody that comes from another country moves to a city. 100%. The colors and shapes are there for this exact reason. You do not need to be able to read English to be able to safely navigate our roadways. Also, not having an official language of the US is kind of a major part of what the US is about, diversity. We're a melting pot of nationalities from all over the globe.

To me, I don't notice any vehicle in particular that does this more than another. Damn near every vehicle that gets on the interstate immediately jumps in the left lane and just hangs out there, regardless of their speed. I notice I seem to pass more people in the middle and right lanes with my cruise control set at ~5mph over because people just jump left and hang out there.

This is may be the single biggest gripe in driving. I feel like more often than not, people don't like to pass and will ride your bumper, even on the interstate. I can't even count how many times on the interstate that I'll be in the right or middle lane and somebody comes up on me fairly quick, gets pretty close to me, and just don't pass when there's waaaay more than enough time to get around me. The same goes for 2-lane roads. I'm in a pretty rural area so I drive a lot of 2-lane roads. I'm not a very quick driver but on 55mph roads I almost always set my cruise at 60mph and people do the same thing, get up on me real quick, stay there when there are miles of road to get around me, and just hang out there. 99% of the time I just stay my course. 1% of the time they get too close and I'll slow down to the speed limit, because they could and should just go around me anyway.

Beautiful car but no handicapped mirror tag or license plate, this person is a prick.

Oh 100%. I'm not a fan of the current dealership model at all but if they can be used to just test drive vehicles and inform customers (skeptical about the latter), then I'd be okay with that dealership model. Keep a couple dozen vehicles on the lots with various options/packages with some available for sale but most are built to order.. Just an idea.
-
And, I believe a hybrid dealership model will be best for the consumer. Of course a one-size-fits-all never really works so a hybrid dealership model, I believe, would be best overall.

It also comes with street tires and won't be able to go anywhere close as far as the Bronco/Wrangler/4X4 Squared. You either get the best off road abilities or more of a street vehicle with awesome lockers. I get it. It's a kick@ss vehicle but, as I've mentioned, it's aftermarket tires with some sidewalls away from competing with the others from the factory. As with everything, you get one or the other.
-
Not necessarily though. When it comes to off-road stuff, an 80k Bronco/Wrangler could 100% keep pace with a 400k 4X4 Squared. Their prices don't compare at all but their abilities certainly do. While I love the G Wagen, it would be ignorant to believe that it's better off-road than a 392 Rubicon Wrangler(with the extreme recon package) or Bronco Raptor. The only real advantage 300k gets you is 13.1 inches of ground clearance for the Bronco Raptor, 12.9 for the above Wrangler, then 17.2 inches for the 4x4 Squared. The Wrangler 392 even has more HP and TQ, to boot(50hp,20tq). The Bronco has 1 more HP and 30 more TQ so that extra 300k isn't getting you more under the hood either.

Oh Gee, those guys tested and compared a Palisade and Seltos off-road to a Wrangler and Bronco and came to the conclusion that the Seltos and Palisade are better? In all seriousness, I forgot about the 4X4(squared). I also have never read/seen a comparison with that and the Bronco/Wrangler. It certainly has all of the necessary hardware to be the best OEM off-roader.
-
I'm not going to try and say the G Wagen is the best off-roader, because Broncos, Wranglers, Raptors, and TRXs exist. But there's no doubting a vehicle with solid axles(Prior to the current gen, now just a solid rear axle), transfer case, and three locking diffs isn't one of the best off roaders. All it REALLY needs from the factory is some off-road tires with some sidewall. What a joke of a list. They site the Palisade as #1 and Seltos as #2 and a Travers as #5. Wrangler is #7 on a best off roaders list behind mostly AWD CUVs.

I would be okay if this passes. "Earlier this year, lawmakers in New Jersey started the process of introducing legislation banning vehicle subscription services. The bill prohibits automakers and dealers from charging fees for the hardware already installed in vehicles."
-
I don't see anything wrong with them asking for it. They can ask all they want and it'll only stick around if people are stupid enough to pay it. As long as people are smart enough not to bite the bait, stuff like this will go away.
-
I don't think there's anything wrong with them doing it. I think ANYBODY willing to pay a subscription fee for something like that is an absolute moron though.
-
They've already gone full EV on a vehicle. It isn't Prius branded but they're currently selling the bZ4x.
-
I was thinking the same exact thing. Utilize the branding of the Prius name and just expand it.
-
Think they'll offer a full EV version this time around?

Ram News: CES 2023 is the Official Debut of the Ram 1500 Revolution BEV
ccap41 replied to G. David Felt's topic in Ram
Odd that this was printed after Ford's 2023 Super Duty announcement of: 1,200lb-ft of torque 40,000lb towing capacity 8,000lb payload capacity I didn't realize this was still a thing. Those Mega Cab trucks are huuuuuge! I think Rivian would like to have a word about this. This is pretty exciting overall news though. I'm curious if they'll Ford-it and apply an electrified version of what they already have or GM-it and have an all-new truck for electrification. I think we'd all prefer a ground-up design but, I feel like Ram/Stalantis(or whatever they're called now) won't spend that kind of money.
