They got beat by a bunch of Koreans who are far better at building cars.

No one is forcing you to buy anything.....

Get out of here with your logic and rational reasoning!

OK.

That’s what customers are for. They’ve been doing GM’s R&D for decades.

Did you tune it? Because Saab benchmarked the Viggen at 230hp/252ft-lbs.

They have had issues with the 8-speeds since they came out. It seems like every other month GM is releasing a new bulletin to fix a shudder, slippage, or stall they develop. They could have used a couple more years of R&D to make sure they were better.

Hi, Brad!

Torque Ratios.

Colorado became a much better performer with the 8spd. Paper stats don’t tell the whole tale 

Is the Ranger a Colorado-beater with two fewer cylinders?

Its not just a car.  There is a trailer, extra parts, fuel, tires, and tools.  trailer weight adds up fast.

A light car, but having a tow rating closer to that of full-size trucks with larger engines in a slightly smaller more efficient truck is appealing.

I think what they meant to say was torks.

and maximum towing capacity—7,500 pounds

Toyota didn’t spend any time there at all they phoned it in and ordered a Z4 coupe with odd styling. 

An ultra-rare Alfa Romeo Ranger with the Z71 package? I’ll allow it.

But bro, where’s the 2JZ part number bro?

i’m hoping rebadging becomes a trend.

What about ordering some ///M badges? For the fenders, the wheel center caps, the seats, the steering wheel, heck, I wanna see ///M badges on the turn signals so everyone knows it’s a BMW.
