  1. Aw, you should have screencapped that. It's already off Craigslist.
  2. in that case, 9 is probably the magic number....
  3. Chicago is the truck show.
  4. better numbers how? The Regal GS doesn't get 35mpg highway.
  5. There has to be an upper limit as to how many gears are actually produce an advantage.
  6. Your wife won't like having to turn off the A/C to accelerate onto I270
  7. The name makes me think of this: On a car that it was less important to keep original, I'd love to drive one with a paint scheme like that.
  8. again, the only thing missing for me is the 3800.
  9. CTS outsold the 5-series? Good thing the X3 is RWD, it's all the way up to 50% of SRX sales.
  10. 45 RLs? You know it's time to give up when the ZDX outsells the model by 300% and the Ridgeline outsells it by 1700% edit: Even the STS outsold the RL 2:1 and the STS has been canceled since May?
  11. You didn't. I was just up since 4:30am yesterday and had a very busy day at work. The few posts I made on here last night were barely coherent. (not that you'd notice a difference)
  12. No rattles and road noise is well muted. On the highway, it's just another mid-size family car, so that could be a good thing or bad thing depending on your point of view. One thing I didn't like about the seat control is that there is no control of seat bottom tilt, but if you raise seat up, it feels like it is tilting you forward in the process. Seat back control is very difficult to reach.
  13. just worry about it tomoorrw
  14. The LFX seems to be soft on torque down low in the rpm band and even at peak doesn't seem to match the BMW.
  15. I believe the 3.0 is more likely
  16. sorry man, it's been a hell of a day for me. let me see what I have here.
  17. well if that's the case, there's gonna need to be another engine above it to take on the 335 in torque.
  18. as we know it today
  19. The Overhead Valve, Pushrod V8 we know today is actually newer technology than an Over Head Cam V8. and I certainly wouldn't consider the Ford 4.6 modular to be more modern than any of the recent GM Small blocks. In fact, it was never really able to beat out even the LT-1 in performance from the factory.
  20. If Hyundai can design and build a DOHC V8 from scratch, then I am sure Cadillac can also. They did it for about 90 years, I'm sure they can do it again. Hyundai is also not coming out of chapter 11 in need to revamp several divisions and with no current V8 design to put into production. At some point the bankruptcy excuse isn't going to be valid anymore.... Engines aren't just an app you can download on your smartphone for a dollar. They take years and years of development work.
  21. I didn't realize until now how thin the Chrysler brand cars were getting. 200, 300, T&C..... that's the lineup. Jeep now has more models than Chrysler brand.
  22. the first or their first?
  23. Well take away the Crown Vic and Ford brand cars are actually up. This time last year the Crown Vic was fleet only, so I'm not sure it's fair to count it. Still, how did the Focus tank that hard? Still some supply issues?
