The GT3 could get the 4.0, and the GT3 RS could get an adapted version of the 4.2 from the latest 911 RSR. Or they could both get the 4.0, so who knows.

Exactly there is no “news” as such in this article.

Yeah the carrera for the 911 has been the basic trim imo. Then comes the Carrera S, GTS and so on.

Misleading title when the quote is only discussing the Carrera.

Understood....and G/O needs to understand I’m backing out of every article that is a slide show...and the more I back out the more time I’ll spend on competitor websites.  Fucking Herb seems clueless...slide shows were a thing in Web 1.0

Keep it up and they’ll be the cheap way to no views

Around this vintage, some cars had a specific light on the dashboard for evaporative leaks at the gas cap. Every time you filled up, you had the risk of under-tightening the cap which would then throw the code. The idea was that this failure mode was far more likely to occur than a manufacturing defect somewhere else…

Just needs a gas cap, and the seller couldn’t be bothered? RED FLAG!

First of all: CP

Good lord no. No.

The seller is tacking on a big premium for the supercharger. Someone will probably give him what he wants for it, but I’m still going CP.

Toyota is not going to build a new MR2. It would be a niche model that would sell the first model year then nosedive. We’re lucky that the GT86 is being redesigned and surviving. Eight months ago it was seriously being considered for cancellation. I would be happy if we get a convertible version. Though I wouldn’t…

That’s because that’s all any of them can afford.

They seem to be straddling this really weird editorial line where personal car ownership should only be shitty vehicles that you buy for less than a $1000, drop a bunch of time and money into, and then never drive into a city. 

They said that their is ongoing problem from what I heard with, regarding the reliability of the engine and transmission. I heard war stories of metal chips being over abundantly present in the oil pan.

It was an engine that was never designed for the XD, shoehorned in by Cummins at a near loss to move a product line that didn’t have a chassis. The V8 in the XD was originally designed for Light to Medium duty trucks as an alternative for other OEM’s.

That model was terrible. That revision of the engine was a generation behind and unrefined. Every review of the truck with the diesel was piss poor. And for all the extra money, it towed about the same as the gas model. I looked at one before buying a Ram 2500. The Titan was as expensive but only 1/2 ton performance.…

This July article and the comments make interesting reading in this regard. Sounds to me as though the main thing among others is that properly spec’ed half-ton gassers (ever improving) overran its intended market niche from below.

I was going to say, I don’t remember hearing the XD was going away, just the Cummins engine.

The body is different, but the underpinnings are the same. Generations are defined by the platform, not the styling.
