I can see using a corporate GM LS V8 in older GM products, but definitely not in non-GM brands...just seems lazy to put an SBC in an old Ford, for example.
-
Yeah, the name seems like a natural. I was thinking they could do an Electra 225 w/ 225 volts, but isn't 240 the standard..
-
A '59 Electra hot rodded as an EV 'Electron' would be an interesting project..or use a Chevy Volt powertrain.
-
I wonder if they have a Dodge Journey replacement in development..it's been around almost a decade... -
Yes...ergonomics and cabin tech are the highest priority for many nowadays. 0-60 and gas mileage are secondary.. (as I get older, comfort and convenience trumps everything else..maybe I'm becoming a future Buick or Volvo driver..).
-
Well, the Cruze is better..it's a real car for the real world, while race cars have no function off the track. 0-60 and quarter mile times are simplistic performance measurements that have limited utility when comparing cars in the real world. More important measurements of real-world performance are seat and steering wheel adjustment, cupholder capacity and adjustability, location and number of USB jacks, etc..

Went up along the Lake Erie coast again today, to a couple beaches and various small towns up to the PA line. Maybe the last nice weekend of the year--70 and sunny. Great fall colors. Saw a variety of interesting cars out and about, a couple Model A Ford roadsters--one pale yellow, one black...I suspect the yellow one had been modernized because the tires and wheels looked more modern.. also saw a clean white '59 Thunderbird coupe. Saw about a dozen modded Wranglers outside a BBQ joint, must have been on a Jeep rally. Saw a clean blue '68 Camaro SS, and a what appeared to be a red w/ white stripes '70 Camaro Baldwin-Motion Phase III. Looked just like the photo..don't know if it was an original or a clone, but sounded brutal.

Other than Jeeps, I wonder what the sales # of RHD Chrysler and Dodge models are...in the few hundred per year, maybe?

Took a drive along the Lake Erie coast yesterday afternoon, beautiful day...saw a white late model Jeep Wrangler in my rear view mirror with a modified grille that spelled out 'OHIO' (which read OIHO in the mirror). Also saw a clean red '75 Cutlass coupe on a small town used car lot. Heading to a beach today, may see more interesting cars.

Audi News: 2019 Audi A7 Retains the Swoopy Hatchback Look
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in Audi
Audi buyers don't want a Mercedes clone. -
Drag racing a Tesla seems as pointless as drag racing a Bentley. Probably violates the warranty. And by 'many' it's maybe 1% of customers?

Subtle redesign..like the full width taillights and dash treatment..sharp car. -
Nissan News: Nissan Suspends Japanese Production For Two Weeks
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in Nissan
Not Nissan, but how about that bizarre story about Kobe Steel falsifying product strength and durability specs... http://money.cnn.com/2017/10/16/news/companies/kobe-steel-scandal-what-we-know/index.html -
Doesn't matter, Tesla buyers aren't drag racing, and muscle car and exotic car buyers aren't cross shopping Tesla...just pointless comparisons.
-
Soon to be gone; Arteon replaces it for 2018. I don't think the US is getting the Arteon. Both are on the VW UK site. Sometimes brands are slow to update their website, Dodge still has the Viper and Dart on their site.
-
The CC is gone, replaced by the Arteon. The Jetta is a compact, the Passat is the midsize, and the Arteon is above the Passat....
-
Your are confusing 'good performance' with 'high performance'...a semantic disconnect. Engines can perform to spec and be class-competitive (perform well within their product class) without being considered high performance.

Jeep News: 2018 Jeep Wrangler Owners Manual Arrives On the Internet
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in Jeep
I like the dash...steering wheel controls look familiar. -
No one did...it's a midsize 3 row family hauler like the Explorer, etc..
-
People complaining about an employer providing EV charging stations in an office lot is the dumbest thing I've heard in a while. I've worked at places that had employee incentives for car/van pooling, using public transportation, and having EV charging stations. I didn't take advantage of any of that because I commuted by SUV. Wasn't a big deal to me.
-
Front is pretty ugly, maybe less so than the RX. Strong similarity to the GC in greenhouse, rear and rear quarter that I've noticed.

Honda News: Honda Has A Lower-Cost Civic Type R in the Cards
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in Honda
A guy across the street a couple houses down from me has a gray S2000...I've seen it out a few times over the summer on weekends, but he mostly drives a late model F150. There is a bright yellow one a couple streets over parked outside that's been sitting there since I moved in, doesn't look like it's driven much. -
The CLS is my favorite recent Merc..love the profile view of both generations..and esp. in brown.
-
Hyundai aspires to be like Honda/Acura, I guess...so if the Tucson goes this high, where does the Santa Fe top out...Edit--I did a B&P and got an SF Limited to $43,950... wowza..
-
$35k would get a loaded Cherokee w/ a V6 probably, or a 2wd GC Laredo.
