    the coupe needs a different model name..... name it Tiburon even
  2. Drew Dowdell
    but is this on D2XX or a refresh of the current car?

    The public's attention span can't go much longer than 4 years for most vehicles, though there seem to be some extreme exceptions to that rule....

    Who wants to put all that work into an engine just to get good power and reliability out of it? It should come from the factory that way.
  5. Drew Dowdell
    but that's just it.... the reason it was done that way was due to complaints about daytime closures.

    Eh... in my interactions with Hyundai reps... they specifically mention S-Class.

    The problem is that no one ever wants to pay for anything and they never want to be inconvenienced. There is one project going on near me where they are only allowed to do work after 10pm and before 6am, so they end up paying a bunch extra to have overnight workers.

    The strange fall-out from this is that now all car makers are going to be rushing out with big recalls. My bet is that we'll see a bunch of big recalls announce over the next few months and the GM recalls will kind of be drowned out in the noise.

    Why didn't they ask Akerson?

    Hyundai desperately wants this to compete with the S-Class... and it simply doesn't. Besides... if that's the case, then what is the Equus for?

    Fuel cells have an even smaller refueling network than EVs do.. At least in an EV.. if I need to plug in to a 110v outlet and wait... I can. Try doing that with a Fuel Cell.

    I spent some time in the Canyon recently (not driving it, just sitting) and I find that truck very attractive.

    Watching this one closely. Anyone hear if the Astra is getting AWD?
  14. Drew Dowdell
    Wasn't that the whole point of MQB? By making the platform super flexible and spreading the costs out further, they would be able to do updates sooner. My guess is that someone in management saw the cost savings of MQB and decided to just keep the refresh cycle at the normal pace and pocket the savings instead. And who does 7 year model refreshes anymore? Even the W-Bodies didn't go that long.

    Notice there is no 2.5 liter 4-cylinder on the coupe as there is on the sedan.

    A pristine 84-85 Eldorado convertible. White with red leather interior rolling on beside me outside of DC today

    No it's not. One dimension of measurement does not make them the same size.

    What point is it if the gas tax is a per gallon or percent rate?

    EVs are not causing a shortfall today, but the increase in fuel economy in vehicles across the board is. I'm driving a V6 8-speed dodge durango this week. Highway I'm getting 26mpg. 20 years ago when the gas tax was last adjusted, I would have been getting 18 mpg tops in the same vehicle.

    Such a strange choice... why not Dublin? At least there are huge tax benefits.
  22. Drew Dowdell
    How else do you propose to fund the roads? Why should EVs get a free ride?
  23. Drew Dowdell
    You misspelled "badge".
  24. Drew Dowdell
    if we could have an honest talk about raising the fuel taxes, gradually, to appropriately cover our crumbling infrastructure, we wouldn't need these experimental ideas. Those driving EVs and even PEVs, yes, should probably have to get taxed per mile.

    I hate the lexus predator mouth styling they have now.
