There are already plans for the XTS to walk off the stage in a few of years anyway. As long as their is some demand for it, the XTS will leave as scheduled and likely not before. The CT6 has been doing quite well and there is no reason to even discuss canning that one.
Okay the Pontiac Fiero, the Toyota MR2. Two RMR compacrt sport car that were in fact very inexpensive. You can try to site small hand built cars like those from Lotus, which are anything but cheap. It can be done for relatively cheap.
There is no engine “diversity”. V8 Supercars is referred to in the US as “NASCAR with left AND Right turns”, precisely because the cars are so uniform. even the Engines have to follow a specific formula and specification to be legal. They have to all have the same format engine. It is not like GT classes in IMSA,…
Teh Holden ranks will be filled out by Chevrolet models. Buick will be the only GM brand still getting Opels for now.
+1 For Indiana Jones reference.
“Tended” Past tense. Even then their lighter engines were reserved for racing applications.
You had me until the bad joke. Still you make a good point. And yes I like to specific myself. But could you name a “Rear-on-axle” car or two?
Audi tends to balance most of their more aggressive cars toward the rear. This control most of the handling issues. they also tended to use lighter weight engines. But the mass would still lead the front tires.
Actually just use a Limited Slip Diff (LSD). The more evened out power distribution form left to right will allow the Mustang to stay closer to a straight line and not try to do do a “Tornado”, which is what leads to the wild dives into crowds. LSDs will also make the car quicker from a standing start.
So this amounts to “After decades of treating Ultraman as a strictly kids fare, we are prepared top treat him much more seriously.”
GM’s is much more aggressive and wide spread throughout their line up. Plus GM has both the Bolt and VOLT. GM has been putting their EV development to practice much more than Nissan. They have announced that Cadillac will start seeing Hybrids, and they are very seriously developing Hybrid S/CUVs and trucks again. And…
1) The Bolt has not been out that long.
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.
The moment you realize “No its NOT okay.”
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.
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
