So why is GM trying to make the Corvette a rear mid-engine again?

The ATS is actually slightly smaller than the Chevy Cruze. The ATS does NOT need to be any smaller. Just pointing that out.

GM HQ NEEDS to let Cadillac be its own animal. Tryinbg to “keep” Cadillac in the family is what is killing Cadillac. Caddy should be taking off like rocket but because it has to be conscious of the rest of GM, it is always held back.

So you nabbed a set piece from Black Panther. Okay.

Not good enough. When you still need to pay for the roads you drive on. Those do not last forever, you know. Call me being fair minded, but if Everyone else has to pay road tax, that would make the EV driver a thief. Converting a ICE-V to a BEV to avoid paying maybe $100 in road tax is a total waste of time and…

The GC was designer from the beginning to be a higher grade off-road vehicle similar to a Land Rover. Maybe more so given the demise of the defender. The Hellcat engine is just the engine. Given and modernized, all-new, Charger or Challenger platform, it would be extremely hard to call the Hellcat a “monster” on the…

Tesla’s are usually tested compared to some very basic criteria. But the Jeep GC Trackhawk has actually be tracked and done extremely well for what it is. COTA (Austin Texas), willow springs (CA), among others come to mind. Has the Model X? Has it done better than a very lazy hang-on around a circle or has it actually…

I don’t really consider the current Grand Cherokee as a”hard core” off-road vehicle but is is far better at it than anything not called a Land Rover Defender or Jeep Wrangler.

1. Typidally should be “atypically”. It is NOT normal for 4500lb CUV to be good at being fast around corners.

The Trackhawk was designed nor intended solely as a drag racer. It is a unicorn of an CUV whose raison d’etre is an very typically high road course performance profile. A CUVs go, the Trackhawk is a complete performance package made from a CUV whose original raison d’etre is very close to hardcore off-road conveyance.

Some of those “shitbox” cars would be awesome background vehicles in a post-apocalyptic movie or TV show where the average people in a stabilized colony/town are driving their own cobbled together vehicles. Its not just the warriors and bandits with crazy vehicles.

With Ford cutting back on sedan production, likely cancelling the Taurus (again), they could start really looking at producing a new RWD Falcon. It would not be that much work. Just a stretched Mustang. Call it the New Taurus and let that in-fill higher performance Fusions, like the ST (which should have been called…

My bad.

It looks like a Mulsanne.

Actually, the new Conti weighs a quite bit more. The 300/Charger come in at about 4300lbs tops. The Challenger maxes at just over 4200lbs.

I actually liked the RoboCop Reboot except it should not have been a reboot. The story was largely weak but presented a LOT of elements that rightly update the franchise. And NO I did NOT like the human hand attached to the robot arm thing AT ALL.

Yeah but those blades are short enough to allow a good margin of error. The “Saber-nucks” are too long to be on all the time.

It would use a kenetic switch that only ignites the blade when being swung away from the user. Except when being firmly held then the blade stays lit. Otherwise, the simply exercise of just swinging it around would have the user cut to pieces.

Because well dang it really was them trying to make it happen as second time.

Dodge had a couple of really cool RMR sport cars back in the day. They remain two of my favorites to come from Chrysler.
