And nothing of value was lost!

Quoth the Raven: HA HA!

I like the design (the beak on the 18-22 car was ugly as sin and we all know it; I’ll never understand why they thought an Acura styling cast-off was a good idea), but losing the 2.0T is a shame. I think it would’ve made more sense to bin the 1.5T and make the hybrid the ‘base’ car, leaving the 2.0T for those who…

“The big news for 2023 is the addition of a 48-volt mild hybrid system on the M340i, integrated directly into the eight-speed automatic transmission (again, the only transmission available).”

No, they wouldn’t.

People weren’t seriously expecting this race to be cheap, were they?

People don’t buy crossovers or SUVs for the driving experience. I doubt most, if any, customers will notice.

The whole fucking point of an EV is that you don’t need a transmission! I don’t even like the things that much and I realize this.

Crack pipe.

The worst parts about the Opel Vectra that paced the infamous 1994 San Marino are
1. the brakes gave up the ghost before the first lap under yellow was done (Senna pulled alongside it multiple times, urging the driver to pick up the pace, unaware of the problem),
and
2. according to a story in the July 1997 issue of…

Still ugly as sin.

Probably because they have no architecture to build it on right now, so they’d need to be develop one from scratch, and with everyone switching to electrification, it’s hard to justify that kind of cost.

If I take away those grilles, will you lose your brand identity?

Gonna be 100% real here: I’d buy a 10AT Mustang over an equivalent 6MT car.

Car and Driver is reporting the 6MT is limited to the 5.0, apparently due to low take rates for that option on the current EcoBoost.

So what does this mean for the availability of the 6.2L on 2WD models?

I know, and I should’ve mentioned that. It seems like Exploder-stang is dead in the water. Dunno if that’s a good thing.

AWD was never going to happen, ESPECIALLY if the new car is an update of S550; I’ve been under a few of them and there simply is no room for a diff case, axles, etc. without a complete redesign of the front of the car (such things cost money, and Ford likely wants to spend such funds elsewhere). None of the spy shots…

“The company went back to the drawing board and found a way to offer the GR Supra with the manual transmission it was missing at launch.”

Hmm...the rearview camera on my Fusion seems like it’s been getting cloudier lately. Guess I know why now: UV exposure.
