If I spent 96% of my cash flow on stock, then asked the government for a bailout when things went south, what do you thing the govt’s reaction would be?  I think the gov’t would laugh and tell me to go plead my case to a bank for a personal loan.  

I was thinking more Freelander

The ridiculous size is one reason why I’ve never bought a F150 Raptor.  Here’s hoping Ford makes a Bronco Raptor with a manual.    

Or my Dad’s 2001 GMC Yukon

Agreed. If I wanted something F150 sized, I’d buy an F150.

If the Bronco has a V6 and manual, I’m definitely interested.  Haven’t thought about if I’d get 2 door or 4 door.  

That’s what I’ve been wondering. It would be interesting to see 2 and 4 door Wrangler sales pre and post Gladiator launch. I wouldn’t be surprised if over 50% of Gladiator owners are former Wrangler owners. Still, any increased overall sales is a plus, the development cost couldn’t have been that much compared to an…

If this comes with a Raptor style suspension, a V6, and a manual, it’ll be pretty hard for me to say no.  

What’s interesting to me is I’m pretty sure these new 300k+ Ferraris aren’t bought by guys who have a Range Rover for the week, and a Ferrari for the weekend.  They’re bought by guys who have a Range Rover, a Ferrari, a Lambo, a Harley, a helicopter etc.  

I bet you’d fit fine in any large sedan.  Source: I’m over 6' tall.  

These are totally different things. Can’t they both have the name since no one will be confused between a charity and a car? Like the quattro razor, and the quattro Audi.

How did the writers find that much detail on such an obscure car before the internet?  Did one of them grow up in Bulgaria? 

True those things are not needed.  However, not having those will lead to poor reviews from Consumer Reports and the like, which will cause a drop in sales.  Even Doug Demuro rags on cars that don’t have enough standard safety tech.  

I don’t know why Porsche didn’t use a bigger battery for more range. They must have really messed up their EPA projections. I can’t imagine they thought 201 miles would be an acceptable number.

Some of those cars on your list are hybrids not EV’s. Very misleading to say the Volt has a range of 38 miles, and not mention it also has a gas engine that allows it to travel way further.

I actually think this package makes sense. The regular version of the Tahoe has become so street oriented I’d be afraid to take it on anything other than a gravel road. Low hanging air dams, and poor angles. It seems if you intend to do any sort of trail, you need the Z71.

The cladding is actually useful, if you brush up against a rock, it’s lot easier to fix than painted body work.  

Too bad this will be so rare and expensive. I would be more excited if this was a $250k car that might someday depreciate to under $100k.  Maybe Chevy should build a V12 stick shift Corvette.  

True, we don’t know the weight of the cybertruck, but a F150 weighs 4,000-5,500 lb. Also, tires are weird. If the only thing going on for friction force was weight and coefficient of friction, dragsters wouldn’t need those huge tires! Contact area isn’t in the equation...yet it matters.  

I have a Jeep and a Porsche, so I normally drive on either mudders or high performance summer tires. However, I know the plain jane Goodyears on my Dad’s Yukon grip much better than the mudders on my Jeep. Also, don’t forget tires are weird. If the only thing going on for friction force was weight and coefficient of…
