Surprised the percentage is so low... maybe there are regional variations, but I ever see usually are crew cabs. 

I was thinking the same thing. I almost never see regular cab trucks that aren't utility or maintenance trucks of some kind. I would have guessed it would closer to 80/20 split.

Now, on to the interior of the truck.  I hope they got rid of the brown eye popping out a stereo.

I don't understand what is so confusing about that. What's with that thing popping out?  Is it giving birth or something,

Now, on to the interior of the truck.  I hope they got rid of the brown eye popping out a stereo.

Let me just say its about time they figured this out,

They can order all they want, all day long. However, given Tesla track record, when will they actually take delivery of them?

I see Nautilus and I see this...like literally everywhere in Montreal...

You see cranes everywhere. Must be a lot of construction going on in Montreal.

Nautilus

I guess that's ok. But for some reason when I see that I think

The Acura would definitely be the more entertaining car for the driving enthusiast. But I would be concerned about the reliability of it. I'm personally not a fan of the volt but I would probably take it simply for reliability.

Didn't know it was such a thing either...I guess it's something new to add complexity and add as an advertising talking point.

I've started reading up on this a little. Apparently it's not a new thing. Just new for GM. I don't remember ever seeing it advertised or talked about though.

... and add like 100 HP- you forgot that point.

After doing some reading on this, I don't think it's all about power gain.

if they did one sedan it may be good.  my guess is they are developing a lancer replacement for global use and probably just want to sell it here.  i would argue it makes more sense to sell a Galant replacement in the US.  But sales wise for Mitsubishi it is probably easier to sell the Lancer size here in the US.

TBH, i want to see a bunch of the Japanese brands go bye bye.  I wouldn't miss a beat if Toyota, Mazda, Mitsubishi went bye tomorrow.  Nissan too.  No love for Subaru either really.  Reality is in the US we'll still have Toyota Honda Nissan and Subaru for a long time.  To me, Mazda has nothing here anymore.  So if it went out tomorrow I could care less.

 

Say what you want about the imports but I think you would miss them if they were gone. How long do you think it would take for the remaining offerings to become stale with no competition?

What questions?

"GM’s first dual-fuel-injection system, which employs primary direct injection and supplemental port injection, helps the LT5 achieve its record output."

I realise I don't keep up on this kind of stuff the way I used to but, two separate injection systems?  That's new to me. I didn't realize that was even a thing.

Amazing power, styling looks a bit too fast and furious or cartoony with the big wing.  But the C7 overall isn't one of the better looking Corvettes.

So, if I read that correctly what you are saying is, rice is not your preferred flavor.

I'd be very happy with a three-car garage. Not that I would park in it. Being in Northern California I have no real need to park in the garage. However it would give me for more room for my tools, general storage, and most importantly man cave.

Thet fuel delivery system leaves me with questions.

I have garage Envy. My house has a one-car garage.

Pickup trucks with 40-20-40 seats are the best of both worlds.  You can fold down the center 20 portion and have a nice wide armrest and storage area, or you can fold it up and give your boys plenty of breathing space.

I prefer that as well. Plus there are times in my truck where six people had needed to fit and the only way to do that is with a bench seat in front also. Sadly it's getting increasingly difficult to find trucks with anything besides two bucket seats in front. 

After reading that, my takeaway is that Hyundai spent money on reserch to find out people don't want a bad dealer experience.

Agreed.  Although if it makes 268 hp and 280 lb-ft, what is the point of the Pentastar that is like 290 hp, 260 lb-ft?  Now you have 2 powertrains with the same power output.

One has much less plumbing.  

2017s now arriving. Just in time to be discounted and make room for the 2018s. 

It's hard to believe the smart for two resale percentage. But that's because it's hard for me to believe anyone would buy a new one to begin with.

I've been saying that for years. I've been in cars that require scrolling through menus hitting buttons scrolling through more menus hitting more buttons and then selecting an option. The same functions I could do with a simple dial or Knob in older vehicles without taking my eyes off the road. The more buttons dials and knobs lost to a touchscreen, the more dangerous the car becomes in my opinion.

IMO the frontier sells so well because of its price. Try and buy a midsize truck from competitors for under $35,000. If Nissan can update the truck to be competitive and still keep a decent price I think it will do very well.

All other comments aside, the headline of this thread is kind of a, well duh. 

As far as I am aware, there has not been that many V10 optoins.  Looking at what has already been posted I'm guessing over 90 % have been covered. 

I'm kinda surprised the SRT4 and Evo didn't make someone's list.
