easily worthy of it, the predecessor was decent, but getting dated. The new one is a massive improvement.

How do they get away with 2.0T and 355 hp on pump gas?
Drew Dowdell replied to dwightlooi's topic in Powertrain
Isn't the "cooling mist" what Oldsmobile tried to do back in the '60s? -
thanks guys!

Honda has completely lost their way on design... but they'll still sell them, so what does it matter?
-
Though... I do approve of this being badged as a Mitsubishi Raider in the U.S.

I don't think selling rebadged Renault sedans is their way out. They need to do what made them good in the first place. They need a decent and lightweight Galant with interesting turbocharged 4-cylinder engines. They need a decent and lightweight Eclipse. For simplicity's sake, make a naturally aspirated 2.0 and a turbo 2.0 only. Offer AWD on both, as was done in the past. Keep both lightweight and nimble, as was done in the past. Prove they can do those two cars, and they may be worthy of remaining a viable company.

+1 on the Hemi + 8-speed.... but I understand there is some sort of limitation there.

This is one of the few new cars that I would buy right now.

how much longer can Mitsubishi wait?

I think the Crew Cab has more to do with it than the V8 v. V6 mix. GM started with a very heavy emphasis on the Crew Cab model to the exclusion of all others. And the Crew Cab is pricey

I'm not saying it was bad... just that the 3.6TT's torque curve is nearly flat and it hits max torque at a fairly low RPM (around 1700 if I recall)

Cadillac does have a presser scheduled for LA, but I don't think we'll see the ATS coupe there -

quite soon I would think... the mules have already been spied -
but they handle terribly... they're only good for long distance interstate travel.. I avoid them when I can and will even select ToMoCo vehicles before I pick an Impala... they are my second to last choice (200/Avenger being the only option, I'll cancel my reservation and go counter book somewhere else)

Toyota News: Rumorpile: Toyota GT86 Convertble Off Again?
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in Toyota
The only difference between a convertible and a hard top in that situation is which tool the Firefighters use to cut the smashed roof off the car with. -
Interesting... in a way GM is proving that there is a replacement for displacement. 420HP and 460 lb-ft of torque is just above the 420hp / 430 lb-ft that the Cadillac 3.6 TT produces.... I haven't seen the 6.2 liter power curves to compare, but I bet with the way the 3.6TT produces its torque, that it produces more torque at a low RPM than the 6.2 does. It would make for an interesting "What if?!" scenario.
