Not feeling it.

Not surprised.

Early 00s VQ owner here. I believe both of you are right to varying degrees. IIRC the early VQ35s (02-04) have issues with timing chains, regardless of vehicle or engine orientation. Later ones do not.

CR isn’t actually doing that, are they?

Does anyone else get the vibe that this car is intended to appeal to the wimps who think AWD is necessary?

What exactly failed?

The C36 was naturally aspirated.

1st gear: German cars are only as reliable as the owners.
2nd gear: We have a late model Ford (albeit a used one). So far, in 3 months of ownership, nothing has failed. MFT is fine. People are retarded.
3rd gear: So what’re they gonna do?
4th gear: Another nail in the coffin.
5th gear: Amount of fucks given: 0.
Neutral:…

Wastes of money.

You mean 36V SOHC.

What were the problems? I know it had cylinder deactivation, did that contribute to it?

1st gear: So they’re JUST NOW realizing that this thing might not have been a good idea?
2nd gear: Fuck Apple. Also, I’m not sure I want my car connected to the internet. What purpose would that serve? For on-the-fly ECU re-calibrations, sure, but other than that, not really seeing a purpose. On the other hand, an…

It had to be done.

1st gear: The plot thickens.
2nd gear: Something will give eventually.
3rd gear: Okay.
4th gear: Whatever.
5th gear: That’s interesting. Which variant(s): L86 (truck), LT1 (in either Corvette or Camaro spec), or the LT4? The story mentions trucks, so I’m guessing the L86, but it’d be nice to know for sure.
Neutral: Don’t…

Too much.

Car & Driver is telling people to bombard Kia North America with requests for it via social media and direct mail.
