  1. <rant> There are always luddites and businesses whose only interest is in maintaining the status quo--oil companies and conservatives for instance. They hold back and slow innovation as they are stuck to paradigms of the past rather than moving forward...it happens with any technology. Technology has to evolve and move forward. No point in living in the past. Stifling innovation because it doesn't agree with your obsolete views isn't good for countries or industries. </rant>
  2. How about this...similar and strange.. http://blogs.cars.com/.a/6a00d83451b3c669e2014e86c937e3970d-800wi
  3. Oddly I don't see any brand logo on the steering wheel. The shape (not the details) kind of reminded me of the Allante--strong vertical component.
  4. They are an evolving technology...why would you think they are failed? Far from it...electric car technology isn't static..it's moving forward and improving..
  5. Something European from the days of future past...'80s and maybe something Fiat?
  6. Neat...IIRC the XJ Cherokee had a 4.0 Litre badge at one point...wouldn't mind scrounging one up for my GC.
  7. Very cool. I'd like to see a 3dr Burban body or Blazer done like that. I've seen '90s Burbans mixed w/ Kodaks/TopKicks, same idea.
  8. Pretty cool...wonder if they are serious about building it w/ the funky doors.

    It's pretty cool..would make a neat Jeep pickup.
  10. It seems more like a case of Ocn fearing future technologies and anything outside his comfort zone of traditional engine technology...that's pretty obvious from any thread where hybrids or electric cars are discussed. He always craps on anything new and different. He's been hatin' on Fisker and Tesla forever...I guess haters gotta hate.
  11. Electric motors are where things are going...McLaren is pushing forward and using their F1 experience... ...there is no challenge for a company to use old technologies or ways of doing things, they are being bold.
  12. Powermaster (Mopar starters)...and the Ram Powermaster was the name used by aftermarket Ram-Suburban mashups in the '90s.
  13. PowerMax (aftermarket Garrett turbos for Ford/Dodge/GM diesel trucks).
  14. I'm surprised Ford never made a Power Ranger.
  15. and now Ford? Good point...I wonder if Ford will ever have a RWD full sizer in NA again (or Aus for that matter, after teh current Falcon runs it's course).
  16. This is not a 5000lb truck, so torque is a non-issue..it's a light sports car.
  17. J.D. Power
  18. I just hope they really are committed to a larger RWD platform and don't just use Epsilon II 'lwb' for all future 'large' models..
  19. Sounds like an interesting car...I read articles in recent Octane and Top Gear issues...too bad it's so violently ugly
  20. Yeah, the dutch doors arrangement was pretty neat...Ford used that arrangement on the Excursion, IIRC.
  21. Which begs the question, what took them so long to bring it here? And after all the moaning about not doing a rebadge of the G8 as a Chevy they basically do it from the Holden. So why not just do it with the G8 in the first place? It would have had the old exterior and interior...they waited until the Holden MCE.
  22. Too wierd for words. Would be interesting to take a CTS nose and graft it onto a Spark, though...create a mini-Caddy.
  23. Looks straight from the pics...front bumper may be tweaked a bit and the passenger mirror looks low. I like those formal '80s luxury cars...if I had the time and space to fool around w/ older cars, I'd love to have a clean '80s Lincoln Town Car like my Dad had then or was in the movie 'Lincoln Lawyer', and a Caddy Fleetwood Brougham or early '80s Coupe de Ville to go with it..
  24. I've seen both used. another: Twin H-Power
