  1. Some of the mix will swing to Gladiators in a few months time and then the Wrangler supply will go back down. Weren't they going to build a third vehicle in Toldeo too? I can't remember.
  2. What the stock market likes most is certainty. With the current resident of the Whitehouse, the only thing that is certain is the uncertainty.
  3. I got one as change on the dining car on an Amtrak trip years ago. I keep it in my wallet as a good luck charm. .... ...... hasn't seemed to work.
  4. Hybrids are still where it's at for now in terms of electrification.... especially with the output the Aviator GT is promising.
  5. This is a car that everyone seems to get excited about except me. I liked the old 159, it had character, but these I find to be just so anonymous. The interiors are nothing to write home about either.
  6. I like Infiniti spelled out across the front and that they put depth into the Infiniti logo. I've seen that on their other concepts.
  7. The Navigator doesn't feel at all slow.... with the 10-speed you are always in the deep deep powerband. I don't care what the ultimate 0-60 is, it is a terrible measure of performance. The Aviator... especially the GT model with all of the electric torque should feel the same.
  8. I feel his pain
  9. just take his passport and if he qualifies for bail... then that's that
  10. I work with one Canadian and it is hilarious when he gets mad and lets out a string of cusswords punctuated with "eh"
  11. An FCA inline 6 would make a great competitor to Fords 2.7 V6 and the new 4-cylinder Silverado.... all fairly close in displacement, but the FCA version, by virtue of being an I6, should be the smoothest and most powerful of them all.
  12. AT4 is mostly an appearance package. 15 HP? You'll never notice it when it already has 420 other horses.
  13. I don't know where GM package planners' heads are these days, but it isn't in a good place. I'm an old-time GM guy and I have a hard time seeing the value in GM offerings these days They just did the Tacoma.
  14. Some people really close to getting banned in this thread. Clean it up folks.
  15. There seems to be a lot of wiggle room in what counts as it's own model and it generally changes depending on what makes the manufacturer look best. When it is convenient, the models are all lumped together (3-series and 4-series sales numbers). When it is convenient, they separate them out. BMW saying "We have 96 different models... as long as you count the 320, 335, etc all separately.
  16. I saw these in LA and they look really darn close to production ready. Both of them are "tweeners" in exterior size. They don't feel as big as an F-150, but not as small as a Ranger either. The SUV looks about Explorer sized. Their third vehicle should be a smaller crossover about the size of the old Equinox.
  17. Leave it to the Germans to overcomplicate matters.
  18. The RLX need an interior overhaul... material quality and fit is well below the segment average. The ILX feels too close to Civic. The TLX is average at best.
  19. A trim line is not a model. The E300 and E400 are not separate models.
  20. Rivian looks to possibly beat Tesla at their own game primarily because Elon's ego isn't involved. They're also starting in the hottest two segments, so if their tech proves to be worthy, they should get a better start than Tesla.
  21. I dunno... I'm sure the BMW will at least whelm me.
