The problem with mine is that its only driven on weekends and I never remember to keep track of the miles. Generically I know I can usually get a few months out of it before I should think about filling it up again. For some reason this giant car has a small fuel tank, as in it only holds 10 gallons. So for even just…

You would spend the rest of your life working on it too.
Mine was that a month ago my 55' Mercury shuddered and stopped in traffic. It re-started and I did get the last mile back to the house . I just knew it was the voltage regulator: the same thing happened a few years ago. So off it came and it tested just fine and dandy. The problem was that it ran out of gas. The fuel…
No. Just No.

It's puzzling to me that few of these sell. Whenever I see one its a rather striking looking car in person.
Whatever. Save difference. Overengineered German stuff.
all cars are carbon anyway. so are the tater chips I juust ate
they get smashed to smithereens. Like in goldfinger.
Start with the hood emblem. It looks almost exactly like the Bentley logo.
I feel the same about this concept as the rest of hyundai’s “luxury” offerings: they have yet to create their own brand identity. While this concept is certainly a more aggressive attempt it is still a hot mess with a whole slew of design bits from any number of other luxury brands. In the end it simply looks like…
Always hated the way these things looked. We had family friends who owned one back when they were new. As a kid I remember the radio stopped working within a few weeks that he bought it.
I know more about what I’m talking about than you. Otherwise you wouldn’t have responded. Everybody knows your typical Mercedes/BMW/Audi will be in the shop every other weekend once it gets within the 3-4 year old range. German cars and their affinity for having finicky issues and electrical gremlins due to their…
If you have a Mercedes the caddy will be more reliable anyway.
The one primary reason this is a bigger deal and as mentioned on this site by others is that this was a “problem” VW intentionally engineered. So for example, if GM had instead engineered their ignition switches to fail- as soon as the cars left the factory floor- then that would be akin to what VW did: they designed…
This is only about presenting a plan on how to fix the cars, not actually have them all fixed by such and such date. VW has had over 6 months to come up with such a plan to move forward and now they have been given a month more on top of the deadline. So to me it seems like the judge isn’t exactly being unfair.
I distinctly remember family friends of ours owned one of these vans and it one day caught on fire and incinerated itself
From what I read it sounds like starting in 2006 Volvo wanted to develop a new set of engines. But Ford wouldn’t exactly let them. But as of 2015 the new engines are now developed. I’m guessing because they probably know many luxury car buyers are keen on the details and would turn their noses up at an Ecoboost engine…
Ok, fair point and I missed that. But Volvo had been- literally up to this year- still been reliant on a number of Ford engines.
