...and that clutch design, while great that it allows for tighter packaging and better proportions, means it’s super expensive to replace. And given the long list of owners, with all different levels of ability and style I’m sure, replacement can’t be far away.

One of the neat things about that type of design is that it could allow really any type of engine to be developed for that purpose. If it’s acting as a generator it only needs to be super efficient and clean in a relatively small operating window, rather than the 6-7,000 RPM window that we expect regular piston…

Some thoughts...

 I guess he was Pam Halpert, GE was Roy.

I wonder if he offered the female employee a little AM D? 

The test drive is so important. There are a number of dealers in my area that use the “here are the keys, don’t do anything stupid, come back when you’re done” strategy and it’s SO much nicer. You actually get to experience the car; take it on the highway, take it on some back roads, take it to a shopping plaza and…

I would buy a Mazda 6 wagon.  I’d consider the sedan anyway but the wagon is damn sharp. Especially with the new turbo engine in it... 

Is it just me or are we seeing this with a lot of newer cars? The Kia Stinger comes to mind as well... looks like a great car, reviews are great, but the dealers aren’t willing to work with people and, surprise surprise, aren’t selling many.

What do they plan on doing with the cars after this event? Do they have their sights on something else? Like maybe having some fun with Porsche by challenging the 919 Evolution’s lap records at Spa, etc.?

That is really impressive. I’ve never seen this before... thanks!

In the Volvo? That’s good information... thank you! It’s not a setting I’ve had before in a vehicle...

My experience with voice control in different vehicles has been... mixed. How well does it work in the Volvo? And is it consistent?

I personally hate it when the fan is on full speed as well - it gets so loud! Defrost is one thing when you need it, but when it’s coming out of the regular vents it can make it uncomfortable, too. My right arm is freezing, my left arm is hot, I can’t feel my feet...

Just needs a basket on the front...

Don’t forget to put a few cards in the spokes so it sounds like shit just like their gas bikes.

Did they have to specify “Harley Davidson Museum”? Isn’t the whole company basically a museum at this point?

I think the S90 are all LWB now. If I recall, they were all SWB here in the US for the first model year of the new design (maaaaaaybe LWB was an option?), then all got the stretched chassis the following year.

That’s my biggest concern with them, honestly. I love the V60 with the plaid seats, although I don’t know if it’ll be available in time for my next lease cycle... but there are deals on the S90 & V90 that I’d be interested in. The quality and comfort are not a question, and all of them are freaking gorgeous, just not…

How many miles before the vehicle starts diffusing its essential oils?

Given Elvis’s history in Vegas, the city should buy it and mount it on top of the Stratosphere tower in his honor.
