Well firstly, Your examples did not pose identical transmissions. The Coupe was a manual. This was the first gimme that it was gearing, despite both cars having, it is safe to assume, identical engines. It is common knowledge for most car fans, and just those who care enough to know,the manual package usually entails…

Nope. Although you can be forgiven for that. You can simply look at race cars to realize, as Aero is key to winning, that having a pronounced or long tail is actually aerodynamiclaly advantageous.

That goes to gearing. In case you failed to understand that. Sedans are typically geared more for F/econ and comfort. Meanwhile, Coupes are geared more for performance F/econ being a relatively distant concern.

Better add Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime) before it is too late.

One can only hope that FCA will invest some money into sorting out and fixing all the problems, archive them, so to learn from them, and endeavor to NEVER let those problems so to learn from them, ever happen again.

Agreed. They are an invasive species, and finding ways to eliminate them would be very good.

Thank you for the laugh. I needed it.

Marvel actually owns that version of the Dire Wraiths.

That comeback doesn’t hold water when other car makers spend as much or more of R&D, “expansion”, and more, and still make sizeable profits. Often making as much for their bottom lines as much as Tesla spends.

Four pontoon independent suspension. And soon there will be four pontoon steering and four pontoon drive/propulsion

But at the end of the day, a company needs to make money doing any and all of what it does. Tesla does NOT have a good track record of that at all.

As opposed the REO (Ransom E Olds) Speedwagon?

I love the Probe except in for two major sins.

Sadly, the RWD H-Body did not last long to see any improvements after the 1970s. But it was redundant next to the much better F-Body. Except Buick and Oldsmobile never got F-bodies. So it might have been a good move to let those two divisions continue to develop the H-body going forward. After all the H-body lent…

The Pontiac Firenza, Oldsmobile Starfire (First Gen), Buick Skyhawk (First Gen), and Chevy Vega Monza.

So if I understand this one company won the bidding for the track, and wants to keep using it as a racing track. Good on them! But they did not bid highest. So another company who also bid and bid highest, took it to court because they bid higher, was willing to pay more... so they could basically ruin the track.
