  1. It's not like they'd have to invest anything to certify it. Throw a few on a boat and ship them over. I'm sure the Chinese factory has the capacity for an extra 1,200 Continentals a month. And then it keeps Lincoln in the Sedan game while Cadillac might be packing it up on the CT6. The lower expense of building it in China would balance out the shipping costs, probably to net zero or even to a net positive.
  2. It has it on the heavy duty trailering package.
  3. After 25 years on the market in other countries as Forbidden Fruit, the Audi RS 6 Avant will finally be coming to the U.S. The RS 6 Avant comes with a 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8 that gets from naught to 62.1 mph in 3.6 seconds. On the track, the wicked wagon is capable of a top speed of 155 mph. European specifications for the engine are 591 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, however U.S. specs will be released closer to launch. Putting that power to all four wheels is an eight-speed Tiptronic. The Quattro system actively splits torque between each of the rear wheels with the ability to send nearly all torque to one wheel. The RS comes with an adaptive air suspension with controlled damping that can be set to comfort or performance. An optional suspension is offered, driver adjustable Dynamic Ride Control that helps with improved cornering and handling. Drivers can select from six drive modes, including RS1 and RS2 which are customizable. The exterior of the RS is specific to the car. The body of the car is about 1.6 inches wider than none RS Avants with flared wheel arches. The RS 6 Avant will arrive in dealerships in 2020. View full article

  5. It's a 2.0T... that's the size of diesel they've been running for years. The way they got it this clean was by putting two scrubbers in instead of just one. Yes, it uses DEF. I hope they do too.... I like variety in the car market.
  6. Same. The exception for me will be if I find a nice used Avalanche... then I'll just deal. But then the second car has to have adaptive.
