This is what is supposed to happen, let the ATS gain a foothold and a following, then next year move the CTS up quite a lot in segment price with the equipment to go with it. -
L.A. Auto Show: 2013 Chrysler Town & Country S: Comments
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in LA Auto Show
What other engine does Chrysler have to go in mini-vans now? Any V6 less than what it gets would be considered insufficient and their 4-cylinder is.... well... lets just say their 4-cylinder is not class leading even if it was held back a grade... twice... -
Also, a twin Turbo 3.6 would be well over 350hp. I would expect that number from a twin turbo 3.0 however.

I'm thinking the coupe may be larger, more luxury sport than sport premium, and have the first initial R.

I wouldn't. Knowing all the issues old carbs have, the new carb will be more predictable. For example, if rebuilt to OEM spec, there will be little to adjust. The mixture is not adjustable on most '80s carbs. IIRC, the only thing on '86 307 that was adjustable was the idle. The computer does most of the adjustments, there is very little to set, though I do know the steps for that and have the tools already. I don't want to diagnose at this point. Who knows what the previous owner did... the carb was clearly opened before. that said, it still hasn't arrived yet..... tracking says delivery today.

Well then another question... does this only apply to cars? It seems to. There are Corp owned McDonalds and Franchise owned McDonalds. There are corporate owned Marriots and Franchise owned Marriotts. There are corporate owned cell phone dealers and franchise cell phone dealers and big box cell phone dealers (which has further confusing model of stores within stores)

Read his comment again a little more closely Mr. Felt.

Happy Birthday! -
Looks like the "designers" of the Aztek are moving up in the world.
-
What logos still have color other than silver? Just Ford, Chevy, Cadillac, and BMW, right?

Mercedez Benz News AMG Plans More AWD Models

How much more will they weigh now? -
How many did you sell?

Chevrolet News:2014 Chevrolet Impala Starts At $27,535
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in Chevrolet
This may be only $700 over the previous sticker, but it is about $4k - $5k over actual base transaction price. I'm sure Chevy expects volume to drop substantially. -
I'm glad I don't need to participate in black friday at all.
-
How would you address a new brand sold by an old company. What if GM wanted to bring out a brand, we'll call it Jupiter, and sell it only in factory direct stores?
-
logos are so blah and gray now anymore, a return to color would be nice.
-
I'm going to a first drive of the Encore in December.
-
Can someone with more knowledge than I explain to me the original rationale for franchise laws?
-
Even my '81 has much better mounting of stuff than these "superior" Euro engineered products. The only exterior exposed screws I can think of are for my headlight bezels, and even those are reasonably hidden. No exposed screws for side marker lights or tail lights. No visible exposed screws on the dash either, you have to climb under the dash to see them.

just as long as they don't start platform sharing with Tata...
-
It yanks the trailer with the GT-R on it around said corner....
-
At least the Evoque is somewhat capable as a light off-roader
-
Sounds like a good day.
-
These things already don't sell in huge numbers, why do they keep doing this? Is the Land Rover Evoque in this class too or what?
-
I think it was the GT-R that was late off the line, but the fact that it's even close is impressive.
