I am no expert, but I fancy myself “not completely clueless” when it comes to Aerodynamics. One of the first things I notice when amateurs and relative know-nothings start discussing aero they get the concepts of Drag and Wind Resistance wrong, just assume both drag and wind resistance are the same thing, if they

Wow! I swear, I think most of us called it.

The Title is a misnomer.

Ugh... I honestly expected something huge from Rolls Royce, about Escalade sized. Bentley can get awway with because of their sporting acumen. But Rolls? A Rolls SUV needs to huge. As shamelessly huge as the manor its parked in front of.

More “Final Destination”.

Gave the Jedi too many hit points. Aside from being force users they are normal humans being swamped by a horde of knights. Lightsabers are not going to make up for the lack for numbers.

This ain’t that. You are looking at the car slightly turned to the viewers right.

The two things that limited the XLR was the price and the performance. For a $90K Corvette, the thing should have NOT been governed to UNDER 150mph.

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.
