'50s, '60s, and '70s they did... then they stuck with those right up until the mid-late 80 when Cadillac started to falter (or 2017 if you count the G-Class) -
It's not an adjustable setting as near as I can find.

No one cares.

That was the first generation..

camaro Chevy Camaro, EV, Hybrid, What do you think? Discuss!
Drew Dowdell replied to G. David Felt's topic in Chevrolet
No one has successfully done in-wheel hub motors yet as they have some negative performance characteristics that will be difficult to overcome. I don't care how they do it as long as they make it torquey... -

GM News: GM Could Make a Full-Scale Return to Europe
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in General Motors
They'll have an exceedingly hard time regaining the trust of Europeans so soon after that. They'd almost need to start a new brand or maybe sell there as Holden. It's not like Peugeot here which has been gone for 2 decades and no one remembers....... -
I applaud Hyundai for continuing to try in the fun sports coupe segment. They may not be consistent, but they are persistent.

BMW released the details and pictures of the 2018 BMW X2 back in October, but the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit is where the official world debut will happen. The 2018 BMW X2 (officially named X2 xDrive28i) is a sportier take on the company's existing X1 crossover. Unlike the X3/X4 and X5/X6 pairs, the X2 does not get a more coupe-like profile, keeping things more upright like a standard crossover. Ostensibly, this is to keep headroom usable on an already snug vehicle, overall however, the X2 roof is 2.8 inches lower and 3.2 inches shorter than the X1. The X2 is powered by an updated version of BMW's 228 horsepower 2.0 liter 4-cylinder. It is capable of 258 lb-ft of torque from 1,450 - 4,500 rpm. Power is routed to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic. No manual transmission is being offered at this time. The all-wheel drive system runs in front-wheel drive mode most of the time. When slip is detected an electronic clutch engages the rear wheels. Along with the X1, the BMW X2 shares a platform with the BMW 1-series sold only in China and 2-series sold in Europe, and the Mini Countryman and Clubman. The 2018 X2 xDrive28i will arrive in dealerships in spring of 2018. The official unveil is scheduled for 9:35 am on January 15th at Cobo Center, Detroit.
