Yeah, I think the molded spoiler looks waaaaay more suitable for a luxury car. If they want to rip out the back seats, insulation, make a fixed seat and have a hardcore street car like a CLK Black Series(I know that's a coupe), then I'm all for it and I understand. For a fast street car with a full interior and luxury amenities out the @ss, keep it a smaller spoiler. It isn't worse, it's just more susceptible to air transmission(at least that's how i read it).

That's another thing I like about them. They seem to have set themselves up for guaranteed orders for a handful of years so they should have a steady flow of revenue, hopefully covering a lot of costs and not being in the red even if their consumer vehicles aren't taking off right away because, let's be honest, it'll be difficult to move a ton of all electric trucks from a brand new company to those who aren't in-the-know like us enthusiasts. Buuuuut, it's not a Jaguar. That's just like saying you can buy a 460hp Camaro SS for 40k or a 380hp 911 Carerra for 100k. Different strokes for different folks.. But, without a doubt, the 18k block sounds absurd.

(the downvote is for the bad news, not for you posting it - Thanks for posting it)

It's a big ole wing and I'm really glad it's molded on and not a tacky(albeit functional) raised one.

I REALLY hope Rivian has their sh!t together because that truck seems like an extremely compelling product. I also hope they've gotten the attention of people with money who want EV trucks so they don't fold in 5 years because I think they have the kind of products to enter the market and make a name for themselves.

But part of my reason for loving either my 04 GT or 03 Mach 1 were the sounds of the 4.6L. I don't have memories of wanting just a basic-a$$ vehicle where the extra room and quieter drivetrain would be beneficial.

Classic cars turned into EVs does nothing for me.

They were in the 25th. I made a thread for it.

I would love to take one of my pups to work with me...

How has nothing been posted here about the new F150 yet? 2021 F150 shifter.mp4

They also appear to get a hybrid variant. "The 215bhp hybrid model is able to switch between full electric and hybrid modes, achieving up to 30 miles on a single charge of its 13kWh battery pack. The electric motor here is combined with the same 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine and bespoke six-speed DSG ’box."

The A4 is ~1500 more expensive and that gets you 188hp and 236tq. The A4 is smaller with a much weaker engine and it starts ~$1500 more.

This is just a damn good looking vehicle. Isn't this much larger than an A4? Edit: It's 5 inches longer, 1 inch wider, and a quarter inch higher.

Oh I agree. The F150 and Silverado should be on that list.

Lincoln Aviator..?

It is a shame to see the best selling vehicles in the US(F150, Silverado, RAM 1500) not being on this list. GM and Ford are strangleholded(is that a word..?) by their got damn unions. They need to get rid of them.

@dfelt, remember a few months ago when I told you about somebody I knew with a new Aviator and how well they liked it and they hadn't had any major issues..? Well things have since changed. He still loves the vehicle when it's being normal but he's having a major safety issue where when he goes from R -> D it will just idle away on its own. The brake pedal pushes but does absolutely nothing. He's posted a video and it's just idling about 5mph with him pumping the brake pedal and NOTHING. Very luckily, it has never happened around other people in a parking lot or anything but he said the worst time it did it was his driveway and it went ~150ft down his driveway before he could stop. He's taken it in now 3 times for this. The first time they couldn't replicate the issue and gave it back. The second time they re-flashed something or replaced something, didn't fix it. It is currently in on the 3rd attempt as the technicians just don't know what to do. i can't blame them as it seems above their level of fixing. He's trying to get rid of it and have Lincoln buy it back because it's a major safety issue. He's also had a small drive-line vibration that's been fixed on that 2nd visit. He's been in a Nautilus loaner for 2 or so weeks now. He's been dealing with somebody above dealership level trying to get it bought back.

Why any company would use IL as a manufacturing state blows my mind. I have to believe they're getting bent over on taxes and other crap compared to...most other states. They also fckd this launch up with all sorts of vehicle issues...

interesting, i never thought about the county number for any state. IL apparently has 102. Oh maaaaaan... I LOVE garlic! We put garlic on most things whether its the powder or chopped cloves.

They also drive Lincoln MKC's... hahaha Okay, maybe not the "rich" part but the rest still fits.

Baby llamas are adorable as fck.

Hahaha I'm a hairy fella.. I was born in 1988 so I'm definitely in the millennial category(although the stereotype seems to be half a generation younger than me). I am certainly not a hipster. I don't wear skinny jeans, fedoras, beard wax...

Speaking of pups, we added another little girl a few months ago. She’s another little Yorkie.

Haha just working from home and with remoting in everything was so slow I didn't really have much chance to get on here.
