It's the option packages. I know you equip your vehicles fairly basic. You get more options in the Classic than you do in the New for the same price. The smaller/base uConnect is notably bad, so I won't consider any FCA vehicle that has it. The Warlock comes standard with the 8.4 uConnect.

I can hear it rusting from here.

@ocnblu I missed the word "comparable"

Jaguar Land Rover unveiled a new Inline 6-cylinder engine, initially to be offered exclusively in the Range Rover Sport HST Special Edition. This all-new engine replaces the 335 hp V6 engine currently supplied by Ford in a deal that JLR says they will end in 2020. The new Ingenium 6-cylinder produces 394 HP and 405 lb-ft of torque. That power will launch the Range Rover Sport from 0 to 60 mph in 5.9 second. Power is helped along by a 48 volt electric supercharger, able to spool to its maximum 65,000 rpm in less than half a second, the technology nearly eliminates turbo lag. There is also a traditional twin-scroll turbo charger for additional boost. The new engine also has continuously variable valve lift to reduce pumping losses. The power train is set up with a 48 volt mild-hybrid system that provides torque assistance to the engine during start-stop functions and to feed the electric supercharger. JLR says that the new engine will reduce particulate emissions by 75% and improve CO2 emissions by 12% over the outgoing engine. The Range Rover Sport HST is available for order in the UK. No word yet on when it will be available in the US or other markets. View full article

I don't know what battery powered bike sales prices are like, but like all things GM lately, this seems pretty overpriced.

Whatever it was didn't post

The cheapest I was able to price a new Ram 1500 was about $4k more. Even then it didn't have heated seats.

Nothing should have changed with your account.

You won't be able to... or more acurately, GM will make it stupid expensive to get and then options like adaptive cruise control or rainsense wipers which come standard on a Yaris will require $4,000 option packages to get and only available on the top trim.

Yeah, I thought that was kinda odd... but I doubt it's only 500 units if they're spinning up a whole production line for global distribution.

I like that they are continuing to update the older truck. Might not be a terrible strategy going forward with the way truck prices are going.

I wonder if the US will get the Bremen cars or the Chinese cars.

Warlock History In 1976, the first production Dodge Warlock was introduced following the public's positive response to a pickup originally designed as an auto show concept vehicle. The Warlock was a factory-personalized pickup that could "play as hard as it works," according to the period literature, complete with bucket seats, "fancy wheels, fat tires," chrome-plated running boards, real oak sideboards and special gold accent stripes inside and out. Production ran until 1979. Ram 1500 Classic The 2019 Ram 1500 Classic boasts numerous segment-exclusive features in areas most important to truck buyers.
